Baby not walking

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 ...

Speech Delay

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...

What do you say when your son says, "I hate you!"?

He says it a minimum of 12 times a day. This morning, I told him how that makes me really sad when he says that. So his tally marks in the last 5 minutes is 28 I-hate-yous. It's seriously lost its initial shock at this point, but it's ruining my overall mood for the day. I'm just a deer in headlights when he says it...

Tantrum after tantrum

Is anyone’s 2 year old having tantrum after tantrum? I’m exhausted and I’m also 34 weeks pregnant 😅 anything he plays with, he has a meltdown and throws it. You can’t play with him as he hates it and snatches it off you and then has another meltdown. I’m hoping this is a phase because he never seems happy which is…

Is anyone else's baby bitting,hitting or smacking stages yet?

My son is 21 months and he is always biting or hitting me. (Not to mention I'm pregnant with baby #2) So that could be some of the cause. Anyone have any tips for me? I do the timeout chair and the playpin but that's about it.

Should I be concerned ?

My daughter is 3 and doesn’t respond to her name, she rarely speaks clearly it’s like a grumble, she never makes eye contact, she will not interact with other children, not interested in her toys she would rather clean them away, she is super hyperactive like she can be up until 4am and wake up at 6am and still be w...

Toddler tantrums

My boys favourite response at the moment is no and is so defiant to anything I ask him to do. Every time I think the tantrums couldn't get any worse they do 😩 it is so intense at the moment and it seems like the slightest little trigger sets him off and I'm just feeling really overwhelmed with it. Anyone else in…

What’s my 2 month doing?

My 2 month old keeps putting her hands in her mouth. Lots of hands to her face and month. She’s very smiley and giggly. She pushing the milk away to eat her own hand or eating her hand after a feed so I know it’s not hunger cues. X

Pretending to hurt himself for attention

Multiple times a day my toddler pretends to be hurt for attention. I sometimes watch him out the corner of my eye and he will pretend to fall off his bike for example. Anyone else going through this stage?

Is anyone else's toddler hyperactive?

I don't know where's the line between normal and too much but in the past week he cranked it up to 100% it seems. He's on the go every minute of every hour. If he wasn't a good sleeper I don't know what we'd do. But he wakes up early and he's ready to start his day 😩 some music does calm him down though, so does…

Crawling with foot?

Does anyone else baby do this? 😅 She is constantly pulling herself up to stand and hated learning to crawl, I figured she would skip it altogether, but she managed to figure out how to get around using her foot and one knee. 😂 it's the funniest, cutest thing I have ever seen!

How early can baby’s have tantrums?

My nearly seven month old has always had a good set of lungs on her, she’s never cried, she just screams. She’s always been a fiery soul with a good heart though. Most of the time she smiles and is happiest when she’s socialising so I take her out to loads of places so she can look around and see people. But my god,...
