Comparing babies

One of my close friends & I had babies at the same time which has been great in so many ways. But I can’t handle the comparison. My baby was late to sit independently, not an early roller or crawler, took forever to get the hang of weaning & is still doesn’t sleep through the night. Her baby sat up early, crawled ...

Screaming

Is there any way to stop my little boy from screaming? He screams out of anger or frustration and it’s so loud it pierces your ears. He doesn’t care who’s around him he will scream. I won’t shout at him, I can’t be stern because he seems to find it funny. What can I do as I don’t really care but it’s unfair for othe...

Baby hates getting dressed

Tantrums 😥

Anyone else's 11 month old hit the terrible 2's early.. It's driving me crazy. It's like we have to tread on egg shells. She will go from 0-100 in 0.2 seconds 😂 The screaming, shouting, shaking head, throwing is ridiculous. Please tell me I'm not alone.

Anyone else's toddler's behaviour just seemingly flipped overnight?

Really struggling with my girl this past week she always been so easy and happy and fun and i'm exhausted she's turned into such a nightmare all of a sudden. She is point blank refusing any and all meals and food except 'treats' and occasional fruit and she is screaming the house down tantrum style at every slight ...

Crawling, Standing or Walking

I’m seeing our April babies are crawling and some even walking!! They’re growing up so fast 🧸🥹 My little guy isn’t doing any except standing with support. He tries to pull up but is not able to and hates tummy time still. Should I be worried? Also Comment what milestones your little is doing!! Love these…

Feeling disheartened

My baby boy is 10.5 months old and still isn’t able to use a four point position for crawling. He can get into this position and is able to pull himself up onto furniture etc. He can also go from lying on his front to a four point position and then to seated but can’t crawl. He is great at commando crawling. We spen...

Speech issues

Just reaching out to see if anyone has or is experiencing anything similar.. My son had his parents evening for preschool and they’ve said they’re concerned about his speech. Not his vocabulary but how he actually talks, apparently he really struggles to communicate with his peers and the workers struggle to unders...

Not sharing

My 2.5 year old boy doesn’t share and when I take him soft play I feel so embarrassed. I actually want the world to swallow me. He would just snatch and when they don’t give it he attacks them. What am I doing wrong? What am I supposed to do? How do I help him? Someone please help me. I just got home and cried my ey...

Why did your child tantrum today?

Happy hands or stimming?

As a first time mum I am getting really worried about some of the repetitive hand movements I’ve noticed with my LO who is 6 months old, over the last 2 months just keeps twirling his feet and hands/wrists. Tends to do this more when excited or in the bouncer, I’ve read some worrying things online about what it coul...

Baby seems aggressive

My baby is 13 months and is generally very rough with toys. It doesn't matter what I buy him to play with, he just wants to throw it around and slam it on the floor. He seems happy enough doing this, but never really plays with toys in the way of their intended purpose. For instance, he has little cars but doesn't r...

Babbling

My daughter is 1 on the 12th December and doesn’t babble at all. She will make sounds but not many of them. She understands you when you ask her to clap she does and dances things like that. Nursery have noticed it but they don’t see it being a problem just yet. I am worried because I do soo many activities with he...
