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,...

Baby talking??

Is it possible for a 5 month old to be talking? My mom and I clearly heard her say “hi” twice today and when she was crying I heard “mamma” three times today.

Toddler still not speaking

My little one still hasn’t started saying simple words yet, she just about says mama and perhaps the word for food and water in my language, hi, bye, no and car. I’m starting to get really concerned because I see other children her age that are saying upwards of 200 words and even forming small sentences. I try to t...

Not saying mama or dada

Is anyone elses little one not saying mama or dada yet? She can say a few other words in her own little way. I know she understands who mama and dada are but just won’t say the words. I’m not too worried about her speech yet, just wondering if it’s weird that she doesnt say those two words yet.

Toddlers talking

Hi mamas! I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on getting my daughter to talk more, she’s almost 2 and I don’t expect her to speak full sentences but she’s only really saying mama and dada. What was the best way you were able to teach them to talk more, we read books, sound things out, say things slow but no...

Does your baby cry when you leave the room, or are they ok for a while?

We have a playpen in our playroom that is baby proofed, closed, and full of age appropriate toys. I've been struggling keeping up with chores lately now that baby wants to crawl everywhere, so I've been putting her in her playpen for 5-10 minutes so I can get a little bit done. My baby doesn't seem to mind at all, s...

I don’t know if anyone’s little ones have done this or something similar, but my son maybe 2 weeks ago started doing this sound in his throat and voice ( it sounds like if you was to clear your throat if you had something in it ) but it’s got to the point where he’s constantly doing it throughout the day, I then men...

11 month old

Does anyone else’s baby cry when they meet new people or strangers. It’s weird 😩 my baby will wave at some people and blow kisses but other times he will cry so loud I have to soothe him in public . I’m not sure what it means or how to handle it. We try and do something outside everyday so I want him to adjust to…
