My son turns two this month he goes nursery 3 times per week, he doesn’t like to play with other children, he knows alphabet, numbers, colours, animals, fruits but he won’t say sentence (we also speak 4 different languages at home), he gets bored quickly with all the toys, but enjoys very much the nursery and all th...

My little one is 7 weeks old and hates being in the car seat. The only time he's settled is when he's sleeping, otherwise he will cry non stop until he's out. It's even worse when he wakes up from a nap in the seat. I'm now starting to get anxious when we need to go out and dread the car trips. Anyone else's littl...

My boy is 17 months and still not said any proper words, he understands a lot of what we say (he can put toys away when asked, if we ask him if he would like a drink he’ll point to his bottle etc) but we’ve had nothing proper other than babble and a few sounds similar to words but not clear. Is this normal? When do ...

This is more just a vent than anything. Baby keeps pointing at me and his dad and saying "Eases" and I don't know what he means and it's driving me nuts 😭 He's such a good little talker and usually I know what he means, but this has me stumped and he's been doing it for days. At first I thought he meant "teethies"…

Our little boy still isn’t talking properly. He babbles and says words but not very clearly. Everything else he’s not delayed with but nursery have been on our case for months about his talking wanting us to send him for a hearing test. But he can hear! They are pushing him down the SEN route and I feel like they ju...

So, my son is super advanced with gross motor skills but not talking AT ALL. Apparently, the way he can go up and down the stairs while I hold his hand is 18-24 months milestone. But in communication, he doesn't meet most of the milestones for his age group. He doesn't even point at all. Is it normal for communicat...

I had a friend and their one year old round recently and my 2 year old was not playing very nice. If playing with toys he’d come and snatch and pushed the other child over a few times. I’m feeling very embarrassed. Started nursery recently with no issues so not sure why this is happening now. Any advice/reassurance...

My gosh my boy just literally throws himself off of everything! I literally can’t turn for a second because he’ll be trying to climb or jump. I feel like he’s constantly bumping his head or body, we’ve had 2 head bumps in 1 hour 🫠 Does anyone else have a fearless crazy baby!

So since my baby has been around 4 months and started to sit up in my lap she would rock back and forth she’s 6 now nearly 7 and now does it on the sofa she doesn’t roll or turn just sits and rocks all day I know it’s to early to worry about autism but does anyone else kid do this or just mine

Does your baby also hate diaper changes? My son will scream like I'm hurting him and yell momma the whole time 😂 and then smile when I'm done changing him

My little girl just giggled for the first time today when I sneezed, cutest thing ever! If your baby has started giggling, what made them do it the first time? I want to hear all stories 🥰

My son recently started saying “owie” to everything. He slapped the cushion on our couch and burst into tears crying and asking for a kiss. I picked him up out of the car and his knee brushed my jeans and he started crying and saying owie. It’s every five minutes and there’s been only one time that he actually hit s...

Anyone else’s baby been really poorly lately?! Please tell me it gets better! 😩

My 2 years 7 months old doesn’t qualify for speech therapy in the UK. However, going privately would be an option. He’s got around 250 words which he uses pretty much consistently and independently. He recently started combining 2-3 words like Mummy sit down please and More water please. He doesn’t use any verbs ...

My recently turned 2 year old has started doing this and wondered if anyone else’s toddlers do this, it annoys me soooo much.

My little boy has suddenly become glued to me, has to be touching me or on me constantly and if I leave the room he breaks down. I can’t do anything, he wants to be held when we walk, he’s breaking my back and I feel so overwhelmed. Pls tell me this is just a phase or what I can do

Does anyone know why my baby sounds like this? It started last Monday and hasn’t got any better. (Trying doctors today)

I swore today in the car while driving after someone cut in front of me and nearly hit the front of the car and my little parrot repeated it (quite happily to himself) several times. I didn’t react/acknowledge it, and very quickly changed the subject to looking out the window, but what now? I’m terrified he’s going...

Our baby is 11 weeks and just discovered her hands and always sucking them, just wonders if anyone else’s is the same?

Why is my baby grunting when I put her down after feeding? Last night every time I put her down she did this. She looks like she struggles but not crying. I don’t know what to do or what it is.
