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 ...

Anyone else start seeing tiny tantrums? He’s 9.5 months and he yells and cries if he’s not getting exactly what he wants, but it’s so unclear what he wants or it’s something he can’t have (like my coffee). Still no talking or pointing, so it’s just a lot of screaming over here.

Hi! My LO is 9 months old, and crawling and starting to pull to stand. Is there any soft plays in the area that have a good section for babies? Also do they have lockers or somewhere safe to put your stuff if you were to go alone? TIA x

Baby is unable to stand can stand using walker/sofa etc but not by herself

My 10 week old used to speak back to us from about 5/6 weeks old but the past week she stopped. She has however learnt to blow raspberries the past few days. Any reason why she doesnt speak to us anymore? I miss it 🥺

Does anyone else’s baby cry when they’re in the pram? Any tips much appreciated as struggling to get out of the house!

Everywhere we go and no matter who we speak to, everyone comments on our girl being ‘tiny’ for her age and it’s starting to give me a complex! She’s plotting about 40th centile and has been like that since about 3 months. Weirdly though I haven’t seen a baby the same age as her that’s similar or smaller they are all...

My 2.5 year old is speech delayed and we have been on a waiting list for speech and language for months .. I’ve just had the letter to book the appointment this morning - which is apparently going to be online? Is this the new norm on the NHS? I genuinely can’t believe they expect a 2 year old to engage in this onli...

My son is nearly 10 months now and is showing no signs of wanting to crawl. If i put him on his tummy he just rolls to his back. He sits up well but just wondering if anyone else is the same? I'm not too worried but just wondering if he should be doing more at this age?

Do you feel guilty for using your phone around your toddler? Feel so bad sometimes, feel like I use it to much even tho I try not to 😞

My almost 3 year old has started spitting this last week at my husband and I (more so at me) when she doesn’t get her way. I’m absolutely mortified as spitting is disgusting and I don’t want it in my house. She only does it to us, not to anyone else and not at pre school. I don’t know how to handle it, I also have...

My mum was over and whilst we were chatting baby was sitting in the corner quietly pulling out all his nappies from the hamper I keep them in. I seen him do it and just let him because he was happy but my mum saw and said "oh no are you not going to stop him?" He's just usually such a difficult baby to keep entertai...

For those that have used a walker or jumper at what age did your little one start walking? And for those that didn’t what age did your LO start ?

I know this sounds horrible but I am absolutely sick and fed up of my baby making the loudest noises and grunting all night 😭 it keeps me awake!!! I’ve got ear plugs now too but can still hear it. When does this stop and what even causes it? Is it a normal thing or does it mean they need burping or are uncomfortable?

Hi mamas! Really need some advice here. My 1 year old normally loves the car, isn’t scared of dark when at home however as soo as we get in the car when it’s dark outside he starts screaming so bad he’s making himself sick in his car seat. I’ve put the lights on in the car and hasn’t helped. Has anyone got any advi...

go to your settings, then go to “feed settings” and then “mute keywords” will be right at the top for ya.

Hey everyone first time mum here ! My boy is 13.5 months and can only say uh oh (which he says correctly when he falls over or drops something) and Dada which he says to his Dad but also to other things too! He can't say anything else yet though. Is this normal ?? He's been walking since 12 months, can clap wave an...

Is anyone else’s LO still not independently walking yet? My little boy is coming up 17 months and he can walk along furniture and with his push along walker but hasn’t yet shown signs of wanting to walk independently. I was just wondering if anyone else is in the same position?

I don’t really know what autism is My son used to say mama, dada, baba and couple more words when he turns two but then he stopped now he is completely non verbal. He will hand lead what ever he wants. He love hugging, kissing from me and my family. I never have any issues with his sleep. He got scared when there i...
