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?

But now she doesn’t. Anyone else going through this and wondering why? What could be the reason. She just turned 1 on the 13th and before she had turned one she was saying it. I feel like after she turned one she stopped? Could it be from the vaccines she had when she turned one? Please help ]: sad mama over here

Hi all - just a bit of advice if poss My 16 week old seems to be grunting quite a lot a very low grunt - at first I thought it was was his tummy (he only tends to poop once / twice a week) but his belly doesn’t seem hard and my usual massage etc doesn’t seem to help. I was wondering if it linked to teething perhap...

Hi all. First time mum here and huge overthinker. My 13 month old son has been showing some negative behaviour lately and I don't know if it's normal. If he doesn't want to do something he throws his head back, stiffens his body, screams, resists comfort, throws things, head butts things, hits his own head. I mean I...

Is anyone’s toddler throwing a big tantrum when they hear the word No?

My baby is 6 months and he can crawl but is now trying to stand. Obviously I want to let him practice this but he keeps hitting his head. We bought a backpack thing to protect the back of his head but it’s the front that’s the issue 😭 he is also hitting his head on his cot because he is constantly trying to pull…

Does anyone else’s 8/9 month old have just completely feral moments? My LG gets really giddy and has started biting, scratching, slapping and nipping anyone who holds her 😅 Will this pass or will this be the case until she’s old enough to understand “No”? 🤣

I’ve noticed my 7 month olds body parts always clicking like when you pick him up or he moves etc I don’t know what’s normal but if feels quite constant. Does anyone know if that’s normal?

Is anyone else’s little one managed to find their voice yet. My little one is 6 weeks old and is a chatter box first thing in the morning

My little girl (2 weeks old), makes so much noise when she’s sleeping, and I don’t remember my little boy doing this when he was this age, how can you possibly sleep? 😅

My LO doesn’t crawl yet. He’s able to roll over, lots of tummy time since the beginning but doesn’t seem to reach this milestone at 8 months. Anyone else in this situation? I know every baby is different I guess I just want to hear similar experiences 🙏

What’s the best way to redirect my 18 month olds tantrums? She’s constantly hitting, biting and throwing things at me. I’ve tried telling her off but she literally laughs at me, I’ve tried redirecting it eg giving her a teether when she wants to bite which only works half the time the other half she just throws it a...

Anyone experience sudden onset stuttering, my LO is 2 1/2 and suddenly this week has started stuttering over some of their words, before that they were a complete chatterbox with no issues and now they seem to have developed a stutter that happens every few sentences, looked online but can’t seem to find a definitiv...

Hi Moms - so thankfully we haven’t had a ton of injuries but my 20 month old absolutely freaks out when he gets hurt. To clarify, of course he’s hurt so he’s upset but cleaning him up or putting ice on it or even just looking at it sends him into a worse state. Thrashing, tears, screaming etc. I’ve tried calming h...

My baby is almost crawling, and now - every time he wakes up in the night, he’s trying to get into the crawling position - but then gets stuck on his tummy and I have to rescue him. This is exhausting 🤣 when they start crawling - does this stop or just get worse? 🤣🥹 thanks!

My little boy has started crawling, and lifting himself to stand and I think a playpen is probably a sensible purchase to keep in safe. Has anyone bought one? Or anyone know what to consider when getting one??

My daughter is 21 months. And she’s not saying a lot. She has a few words, but she’s not really saying much should I be concerned?

Anyone with a thumb sucker finding that the thumb sucking is suddenly starting to affect feeding? My son’s thumb is in his mouth probably 80% of the time. It’s now at the point where I’m trying to feed him and he’s constantly trying to get his thumb in his mouth at the same time! I’m guessing it’s just because he’s ...

My wee girl just turned 7 months and she's my 3rd and I just feel like she's way behind on her milestones for example she's not rolling yet, very seldom babbles, when we do tummy time she will just lay there she can lift her head of the floor but won't try to move her body to roll. She's always been a happy content ...

Moms have any of y’all entered the tantrum phase ? 😭
