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??

During the tantrum, she pulled her own hair out and when I told her to stop, attempted to pull her teeth out. This isn’t the first time she’s hurt herself during a tantrum and I’m now...

Words and Talking

I keep seeing posts or videos about how many words people’s toddlers are saying. Everyone recommends narrating everything they/ you do out loud so they start picking up words. But idk if anyone has a son like mine, but he cries/ whines for everything. Putting his shoes on, getting him dressed, if i make his lunch, d...

Curious

Are your babies crying when they see certain people ? After a few days or weeks of not seeing them ? My baby is crying with certain people and making frown faces.
