Gentle baby turned diva

So my little girl was described in her 18 month old nursery assessment as gentle and quiet. She's nearly 20 months now and when I picked her up from nursery today they said she had been a diva and has been slapping staff if they told her not to do something. I was quite embarrassed and didn't really know what to sa...

Does your toddler ignore other kids?

My kid goes out of his way to get away from other kids he did not know. I know they parallel play at this age but when someone wants to swing next to him he'll want to leave. If he's playing with rocks and kids come to play near him, he'll leave. Hr might make brief eye contact but wants nothing to do with them. W...

Toddler troubles...

Seriously feel like I'm losing it. I'm 2 weeks pp after a couple section. I also have a 2 and a half yr old at home. My toddler has suddenly decided everything is a no for her. She doesn't want to nap, brush teeth, or honestly listen to anything she is told. I know they call them terrible twos but wtf?! Even the bat...

Anyone's toddler screaming like they are in a horror movie?

My God, our son has none stopped crying and screaming today, this is just changing his nappy or saying no to something he can't do. Today has been a tough day 😭

Screaming baby

I CAN'T with the screaming. My 6 month old always wants to be held. He won't take naps in his playpen, and even dancing fruit doesn't keep him at bay for long. I'm overstimulated all the time, and I love my son a lot, but I miss peace, quiet, and even having time to get chores done 😭😭😭

My son only looks on his left side

He very rarely will turn to his right side. His head is always looking towards the right. Is this anything to be worried about?

One arm reaching for objects

My little one is 12 weeks and starting to reach for objects when she is laying down and under her play gym. She only uses the right arm to do this? I brought her to pediatrician as I was nervous and she said she was fine. Has anyone else experienced this?

Normal behaviour for a 10mo?

I’ve had a family member comment that my baby doesn’t seem ‘normal’ 🙄… to me she is perfect. I don’t have any friends with babies to ask so i’ll explain her behaviour. - stares at lights - hates getting dressed, hair washed or brushed. - won’t touch flowers 🤷🏻‍♀️ - cries quite a bit - is very fussy and high needs…

Laying down to play

Does anyone else’s child lay down to play, particularly pushing cars back and forth? He literally has his belly on the floor and rests his head down and plays. My little one does it alot and I’m getting a bit worried as when you google it, it says it could be a trait of ASD. He’s been obsessed with cars for months n...

Panicking over my toddler’s development !!! Please help by commenting if any of you experience the same.

1) Does not have words with meaning. He babbles a lot, says ma-ma, a-ka, da-da and a few other sounds but nothing seem to be on purpose. 2) He is self-directed. He plays a lot by himself and he doesn’t follow instructions/simple asks most of the time. 3) His understanding of what we are saying is not great ( also I ...

15month tantrums

Anyone’s little one super moody lately?! He’ll be 15 months on the 10th. He’s been constantly whiny from the time we get home from daycare to bedtime. I try to limit screen time but I’m pregnant with baby #2 in my first trimester and I am in the trenches 😩🤣 I’m not sure if he’s teething or just going through…

Baby smiling

I’m not a first time mom so I know I sound ridiculous as most babies won’t smile until 6 weeks at the earliest but I swear my daughter is smiling at times and not the wind kind 😂 it’s always in response to me getting close to her making silly noises
