Head butting

Ok I need to know if this is just me dealing with this or if it’s normal. My son is hitting his head on EVERYTHING. Me, the floor, tables, chairs, toys, hitting himself in the head. I don’t know what to do or how to stop it. And he’ll hit his head on something hard cry and bruise his head but then he’ll do it again.

Speech delay?

My 18 month has been saying dads since 10 months but he is still not saying mama or any other word tbh. He hums his rhymes and I’ve heard him saying bed when listening to ‘monkeys jumping on the bed” rhyme. I don’t know if I should be worried now. I read to him, talk to him, do off screen activities and I don’t know...

How many of you still sing to your toddler?

My daughter lays down for every nap/bed and says "mama, sing Pooh b" even saying "peas" sometimes, so of course I still sing to her. I even made up a cow song because she was so upset one day and wanted me to "sing moo cow' since they are her favorite and help comfort.

Social and communication development

My 2.8 year old is so oblivious I don’t know what to do anymore. Something deep inside me tells me he his not a typical toddler I had him evaluated for ASD and every professional said they do not think he is autistic. He is a sweet kid but he is so in his own world. Are all two year olds this oblivious? He will step...

22.5 months & not saying much

My little girl 22.5 months (2 in December) and I am worried she is not talking as much as she should be. She will say some words (around 10-15 that she uses regularly). But I don’t feel like this is as much as other children and she isn’t putting two words together yet. Is anyone else in a similar situation? For ...

Help with crawling? Or a reality check?

Hey all! My kiddo is 7.5 months and can sit on his own, barrel rolls like a champ, but has zero interest in even attempting to crawl. Doesn’t want to even attempt to assume the position. I’m trying to increase tummy time and entice with toys, I’ve tried using my leg to help him put weight on his arms, a cushion, etc...

Tummy time & crawling

My little one has always HATED tummy time, from day 1. We have tried to incorporate it into his day but he ends up very upset and crying (even more so after learning to sit up and preferring this position). He’s now 7.5 months old and is not showing any signs of crawling, which is no surprise given that he is not on...

I’m not sure what to do about my nearly 4 yo

I have a 4 yo boy. He’s the sweetest boy ever. But he’s gotten into this naked phase and he has a bouncy balloon like toy. It’s like a space hopper thing that he rubs his privates on. He does it in private. But I’m not sure what to do about it. Is this normal ? I’m not sure how to go about this? He is always with...

Grunting

My 5 month old and 2 week LO started grunting about a week ago. She doesn’t seem like she’s in pain. She just does this. I thought maybe because she was frustrated but she could be sitting constantly and still do this. Is this her using her voice? I’m worried this is a sign of something more significant.

What am I doing wrong?

My little one is almost little over 14 months old, and he’s not doing some things his doctor/ others say he should be doing. He’s not walking, he only really says mama and dada (mama comes and goes, dada is very consistent), not playing with certain toys correctly… what am I doing wrong? What can I do better?

16 month old learning letters

Hi! I was just after some opinions because I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing by my son or not. My son is 16 months and he's a very nosy and curious boy. He's quite the chatterbox as well, I estimate he can say about 40ish words. He picks up language super fast, sometimes only from me saying a word once or twi...
