Evening crying

Does anyone else’s little one tend to cry/scream in the evening for no particular reason? Our baby is 13 weeks old and still screams every evening between 7pm-10pm for at least a couple of hours. He is just so unsettled and no matter what we do nothing seems to help. Anyone got any tips?

2 year old hit me for the first time

My little girl hit me for the first time yesterday, intentionally in anger she hit me across the head as hard as she could. I didn’t hurt but I instantly welled up. I didn’t shout I just calmly said no hitting, hands to ourselves. She hugged me and I could tell she felt bad but I feel like such a bad bother that she...

Its such a weird stage for disciple… I know he knows what he’s doing and understands me to a certain point, but i also know he obviously doesnt know how to express his emotions any other way. I always seem too get overwhelmed/flustered and somewhat embarrassed especially when it...

Just a celebration post, hopefully to show some mamas out there worrying that sometimes LO isn't in a rush, but it doesn't mean they won't get there! Mine never crawled either, just been bum shuffling about for a long ass time 😂

Anyone else's kitties make this noise?

I've never heard other cats make the noises my cats make when they communicate. Is this normal? And does anyone know what it actually means? She sounds like she's in distress but she's trying to get my attention to throw her spring for her 😭 They never 'meow', they just scream at me 😂 bless their little hearts 🥺

Baby hates me, everything, screaming 🤯

She’s not well, she’s possibly teething but everything I do she screams. She’s off her milk, off her food, bath, changes, naps, doesn’t want to play, doesn’t want to be held. I honestly think my head is going to explode it’s been like this for days. I’m so done. Anyone else had this? She’s 11 months

Nursery settling in

Has anyone only recently enrolled with the nursery? My LB is having a very tough time saying goodbye and is full of dread and worry even mentioning nursery. I think where he is 3 now his level of understanding is much greater than if I had started him younger. He has only been a few weeks but has only been doing 2...

All my baby is doing is moaning 🤔😭

I’m hoping this is just a phase because I cannot keep him happy at the minute. I’ve given calpol and teething granules incase he is in pain but it’s made no difference. He doesn’t want to be held and doesn’t want to do his own thing 🤷🏻‍♀️ even going for walks isn’t enjoyable anymore as he just moans the whole time.…

Tantrum or autistic meltdown

I'm slightly questioning if my toddler is autistic here. It's not a problem if he is but I think perhaps I need to adjust my/ hubbys approach. My toddler will have 'tantrums' which starts from not getting what he wants. However sometimes with very little stimulus he has a full blown meltdown often after a long day....
