How chatty is your little BOY?

Does your 4'23 baby speak words? If so, how many? Does your baby mumble more? My baby barely speaks 3 words. Mumbles and says "goolee goolee" often lol We're bilingual, but speak mainly English. He doesn't pay attention to how we say things either. How can I get baby to speak more? Is it my fault he doesn't speak ...

Losing speech?

So my LO is 13 months and has been saying mama and dada since 7 months, he’s learnt new words since then but for some reason some words don’t stick. Like last week he was saying hiya a lot and now he isn’t and last month he was saying ta but doesn’t now. Does this mean anything or could it just be because he’s learn...

Daughter talking about my husband's "tube" that she can see from outline on his shorts. Idk what to do.

He's always been self conscious bc he can't hide it. His mom always made him wear hideous pleated khakis. He only wears shorts now. I finally got him feeling less self conscious. But now my 5yo daughter is talking about it. She doesn't know what a real one looks like but she can tell it's like a tube.

Hitting

Has anyone experienced their toddler hit/ scratch their baby, like my toddler will just get this urge to go and hit the baby’s head then cuddle and kiss the next, he’s so unpredictable, if I leave the room I’ve got to take one of them with me, it’s a lot, so any advice grateful 🙏🏽

Fighting for my life 😂

Anyone else fighting for their life daily with 1819 month olds and their attitudes? My little one has started mocking me and it’s humbling daily. She knows what she’s not supposed to do so while she’s attempting to do it she goes “no no no no” and smiles shaking her head.

She says words here and there and can put words together but only ‘open and shut’ other than that it’s just the odd word ‘milk’ ‘water’ etc, she has stopped saying some words she used to say. She constantly babbles in her own language. She’s very...

Difficulty walking

My nearly 2 year old has woken up for 3 days on the run and can't put any weight on his legs, he screams if I put him down. Once I give him calpol and ibuprofen he's OK after about half hour, is this growing pains or has anyone else had a similar problem?

Baby losing his voice?

Has this happened to anyone? My 6m old started losing his voice yesterday. He can’t cry or make high pitch noises. He’s otherwise well, smiles, eats, and sleeps properly. No cough or other symptoms but I find it quite scary??

Hyperlexic child
