Went to see a the HV couple weeks ago they said his communication was behind at his 8-12 month check and said she said she will couple back in 3 months. He still says nothing and has no interest in talking/copying words. He is very vocal with excited screaming, babbling and recently hissing and growling at things/ ...

My 4 month old has started sucking her thumb. Shall I let her or try to stop this and nip in the bud. Have tried offering teething toys but she is more interested in her thumb

Hi ladies! Can you believe our little ones are turning 1? I just wanted to ask some advice because my baby is in a stranger danger phase and she starts screaming basically at anyone who isn't me or her dad. If there are other people on the room, she only stays with us and screams if we leave. She used to be a lot mo...

Hi, I have a 14 month old baby and he says “mama””dada””hi” and “yeah” and also mimics roaring animal sounds. Thing is he’ll sometimes pick up a word and then drop it, how do you encourage your toddlers to speak and learn new words? How can you keep them consistent with words they know? Any advice would be apprecia...

My 6 month old is going through a phase of high pitched screaming for no apparent reason, please tell me this is just a phase? I feel like he used to be such a happy wee boy and now he’s crying all the time.

Does your baby say words knowing who/what they are referring to? My nearly 9 month old says dadda and baba but I don’t think he has an understanding of what they mean. For example he doesn’t say dadda and look at his dad. Just wondering for those of you that have older children, when did they start to say words and...

Hi mamas! I’m sure we have all been there where our babies are crying inconsolably during a ride somewhere. I dread taking my 3month old and 2.5 yr old out it’s always a cry fest. On top of that he sweats out so much from all that crying. I’ve tried white noise and lullabies , nursery rhymes you name it to try and k...

My MIL mentioned i should have my son checked because of his attention span and early signs of ADHD. He's my first so I have nothing to compare him to. He's busy and doesn't sit with a toy for long. For example, within 15 minutes of being in his play area in the am he's gone through like 3 different things. While pl...

Would you be concerned? She doesn’t do it all the time and tends to be with toys but when you read online it suggests otherwise?

I’m by no means an anti-vaxxer & my LO had her 8,12 and 16 weeks jabs (although I’ve delayed the last two by a couple of months). I’m just so confused as both of my sis in laws gave their kids the 1 year vaccine and their toddlers went from speaking some words, interacting and being very social to non-verbal. They’r...

My 9 and half month old is amazing and doesn’t stop talking making so many different sounds daily however, he does not say mama or dada. He just laughs whenever we say it to him. Should I be concerned about this? It’s really getting to me😢

Yall my baby screams every time I try changing her. But the moment I pick her up she calms down. It's like she doesn't want to wear anything.

My baby says all the baba, dada, gaga, mama sounds, makes lots of noises etc but he doesn’t say any actual words yet. I name objects all the time - real objects and in his books, I talk to him all the time and always have done. I get the sense he understands lots of words like if I say ‘where’s the ….’ he’ll often l...

My little girl is 15 months old and doesn’t seem to want to stand up on her own without support. She doesn’t pull herself up or cruise along the sofa either. She will also cry when we try get her to stand up. We’ve been advised by the health visitor to get a doctor’s appointment to check her hips are ok (which we ha...

Does anyone else have a LO that only says yes/no and one or two other words? I'm getting worried. She was REALLY interested in signing for about a week and then got bored. She'll say please, thank you, etc... but WILL NOT talk. Sometimes I almost feel like she can talk, she's just waiting. She said puppy way back on...

We’ve been dealing with terrible twos times 10 it feels like lately. She will scream at the top of her lungs if she doesn’t get her way and I don’t like to give into it. But I don’t want people to think she’s being hurt and she will get my youngest crying when she does it. Any advice is welcome 😅

My 19 month old is extremely hyper to the point where we go to activities and he just runs off or goes up to all the kids and parents and just stares at them, sometimes he will try hit them or he hands them things. He then grabs toys/ teachers equipment and throws it all over the place. He cant sit still and watch t...

She’s just been so whiny and idk why! 😩😩 worst part majority of the time they’re fake cries SN: I’m almost due with my second in a couple of weeks.. idk if this has…
