Heyo, My daughter turned 17 months today!..and she is still not walking. She was born 6 weeks premature. And all her physical milestones have been delayed. She started rolling late, started sitting pretty late and didn’t crawl until she was 13 months! I have always been “not going to track milestones” mom but this ...

Is anyone elses toddler still afraid of the vacuum? Like will just scream and cry the entire time you vacuum?

How are we handling tantrums? My daughter hears the word no and just goes full blown tantrum.

Just out of interest have you spoken to your 3 year old about private parts? I had a chat today with my sons pre school and it’s made me think that maybe I need to start to talk to him about our bodies, I’ve always thought maybe too young at the moment.

My baby just had her 2nd episode of crying until she was bloodshot in the face and sweating and stops breathing she is crying so hard. I am the only one who can calm her down. First time her dad was holding her. This time she was in her carseat and I was driving and he couldnt calm her but as soon as I held her both...

I’m unsure if i should reach out to HV for this. But my 14 month old still hasn’t said any words. He babbles, saying mama dada baba but he doesn’t link them to anything, just random. He was also a very late babbler, at 9/10 months was his first babble. I’m really concerned he’s speech delayed and i’m trying so much...

I’ve had a few little concerns about my little 19 month old boy and wondered if anyone else’s experiences the same with their little ones? My little boy is constantly on the go… he was an early mover! He literally cannot stay still unless he is in his high chair or car seat. I see other children his age that will ...

Is anyone else’s 23 month old talking full sentences yet? I don’t understand the shocked reaction strangers have to my daughter talking to me in public. 😆

My daughter turned 5 months a few days ago. She’s laughed on the odd occasion but still yet to have a proper proper belly laugh, she also isn’t ticklish 🙃 so find it very hard to make her laugh as I’m clearly not funny enough lol. Is anyone else’s babies the same age the same? Wasn’t sure if this was normal as my…

I recently started my 2 year old in daycare. This the third month and he is supposed to go only 3 days a week for 3 hours. I say supposed to because he will scream, cry and throw a full on tantrums not to go. I give in and not take him. He absolutely hates it and I’m at lost for what to do. The daycare staff says th...

My little girl is 2 years and 5 months old, and she still isn’t talking , she says a few words and will mumble along with nursery rhymes and songs , clear enough that you know what she singing but not full words of that makes sense , we’re in the waiting list for a hearing test and the HV said they wouldn’t refer fo...

My two-year-old who is not quite communicating yet is now pinching when he is upset and on occasion will bite if he’s mad enough. Seems to be out of frustration, but I’m struggling to figure out ways to correct it. (We do not hit him even if it’s “just a tap on the hand”)

I have a 3 week old little girl who cries constantly every single time we are in the car , the strap on the seat aren’t too tight , I’ve tried white noise and putting toys sensory hanging things to distract her and nothing works , is this a stage will it pass or any other suggestions 🤯

She’s teething bad and nose is constantly running but god half of time she just keeps crying or moaning 😭 she’s such a happy baby too but theses last few weeks have been bloody horrible

How well does your 3 year old communcate in back and forth communication? My little girl has so many words and so switched on but can't really hold a short conversation

Is anyone else's baby doing this? Is it part of teething?

When should my little girl be reaching for toys? She will hold things for a little while if I place them in her hands but she has absolutely no interest in grabbing things herself. She is mesmerised by sensory toys and will stare at them, smiling and "talking" but has no interest in reaching for them! She reaches f...

So my daughter will be 14 months in 6 days and isn’t walking or showing signs of walking. Her pediatrician said not to worry about it until 16 months but she’s not even able to pull herself up. Me and my partner place her in the standing position but gets scared to let go and sit down. We have a push walker and she ...

My son is 4 years old. He has participated in various supportive programs, including Early Head Start, mentorship, Early Intervention, Parents as Teachers, daycare, and more. He has been doing well overall—he understands everything and is able to do many things independently. However, the one area we’re still worki...
