This is my third baby and she is turning 1 this month. Last month she had a UTI and has not been the same since.

I’ve spoken with a couple of doctors, multiple times about this and they keep tel...

Is this normal?

Advice

I’m not sure this is the right place to post and be as my son’s still very young. (18months) but I’ve worked with autistic teens for years but never children his age. However I feel like he’s starting to show signs. Could anybody tell me the signs your children had autism this early?

Talking

Anyone else’s LO still not really talking but understands pretty much everything and can follow instructions when asked, says the basics ‘mum, dad, yes, no’ but is making lots of different sounds. Should I be worried yet or is this normal🤷‍♀️

Late talker

Has anyone else got a late talker? I feel like my little one is never going to talk! we’ve already seen a speech therapist twice, she doesn’t seem worried just yet and gave us tips to do at home. But feel like there’s no improvement just yet.

Biting/hitting

Anyone else's toddler biting and hitting when they're frustrated? I think he is teething again too which doesn't help but he has suddenly started doing this and it's so difficult! It's mostly me he does it to but he did hit two children in the face at soft play yesterday which really took me by surprise :(

Bonfire night?

I’ve got a 4 month old and got her some ear defenders so I could take her to watch the fireworks - but now second guessing myself if she’s too young and it’s too noisy for her ears even with defenders? Is anyone else taking their young baby?
