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.

My toddler has recently started hitting and kicking us and our cat when he's frustrated. We haven't taught him this. We try to teach him this is wrong but he doesn't seem to understand. I've shown him educational videos about it and explained why it's wrong to hurt others but it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyo...

Are your LO getting frustrated with toys and starts crying? Mine does and I can only calm her swaddling her and giving her the boob.

Any tips on how to make my baby laugh? Managed a lot of giggles about a month ago by pulling faces, pretending to eat her lol, raspberries, tickles, peek-a-boo... but now the same things don't make her laugh anymore and haven't heard her lovely laugh in about 2 weeks. Maybe I'm just not very funny 😅

I've been worrying about this so I wanted to see if I'm just being silly.... My LO is 8 weeks and he doesn't really make eye contact much with me, he just looks around the room and very much at lights. He also doesn't really smile at me or turn to me when I speak to him. What are other people experiencing? I hav...

Should I be worried that my baby isn’t pulling himself up to standing using furniture? My little boy has just turned 10 months and isn’t showing any interest in using furniture to pull himself up to standing. He will if you offer your hands to him and then wants to walk whilst holding your hands. He’s been army cr...

Hi all From how ever long I can remember I have been worried over autism. If social media wasn’t a thing and it wasn’t so well broadcasted I know this wouldn’t have crossed my mind as to me it’s all normal toddler behaviour but the big wide web has got me worried sick. I can’t shake the feeling. I just wondered if I...

My LO is 21 months and just started nursery & he hates it he is hysterical every time he goes. He is fine when we stay with him but when we leave that’s when he cries. He is such a happy boy usually but from about 10 months started hated going to any classes and would cry so I think he is going to be shy which is fi...

This might be really stupid but what milestones is my 14 month old supposed to be hitting? Everything I read contradicts the next. One says he should be able to hold a crayon and the next says he should just be playing with like blocks. I’m completely lost

My lo who is 8 months knows how to sit up but he can’t lift hisself to the sitting position . He’s not crawling , he will lean over to grab things but once he falls over that’s it . Any other moms experiencing this ? This is my fourth child and I never had any other baby move this slow …. Any advice?

My little one started 2 months ago but I've seen a lot of people say theirs has only just started so I'm wondering if she's lacking things because she's working on other things like clapping

I have a wonderful 7.5 months old boy who is developing really well. However, his dad and their side of the family are bald and he seems to mouth and then bite (now he has his front 2 teeth) their heads. He does the same to other babies and toddlers too at baby groups, just crawls to them and puts his mouth on their...

Is anyone’s little ones speaking and saying first words? My little girl just babbles by saying mamama, dadada, rarara and sometimes dedede and that’s it, not a proper “word” yet or associating mama or dada with us! Just curious as she was a late babbler but is speeding ahead with physical and social development! X

My son turned 1 10/25 and ever since he was like 5-6 months old he thought it was so funny to be scolded or when someone else was getting scolded. Now he understands a lot more and he literally laughs at me when I’m telling him not to hit or throw his food off his high chair. I’m usually very calm with correcting hi...

Does your 3 yr old still use a stroller? I still have mine in my boot and generally use the trike if we have a bit of a long walk like at the zoo or something. I think its time to get rid of the stroller and maybe the trike unless on a lot of walking days, but she does prefer to sit and pushed around or she might ju...

My boy still isn’t crawling. And more worryingly he isn’t bearing his weight on his feet. I’ve been told to try standing him at the sofa and if after another couple of weeks he’s not ping it then I need to get the doctor to check him over. We do think it’s laziness, but it’s hard not to worry 😢

My toddler who is just turned 2 has started saying I don't love you mummy or won't give me a kiss or cuddle and it really hurts my heart even though I probabaly shouldn't take it personally. I'm a single mum so we're close and I'm naturally very upset by these things. I think he is super advanced for his age and sho...

Is anybody else’s March baby showing no sign of crawling or pulling themselves along, My little girl will roll everywhere but no signs of anything else

My little one still doesn't clap his hands! For months now he's waved his arms around and hovering his hands like he is going to but never actually claps them together. If we do it for him he absolutely loves it and smiles and laughs about it but never does it himself. Is anyone else in this same situation?

my 2 year old is speaking sentences. he will say words and repeat back what i ask him to say and pronounces them pretty well. he babbles gibberish a lot in sentence like form and even reads to himself in gibberish. i’m just concerned because it feels like everyone else’s child is super advanced and perfect and mine ...
