Arm flapping

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?

Are you or have you given your LO the 1 year vaccine?

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...

Should I be concerned?

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😢

Help

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.

Baby not saying words

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...

Not standing unassisted

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...

Not talking

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...

Tantrums

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 😅

Extremely hyper toddler

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...

For anyone that needs a laugh

So my 2 year old heard the song “you’re welcome” from Moana. We showed him the song along song on YouTube, turned out that kept him calm for 4 minutes (long enough for me to use the bathroom, he’s in the clingy phase.) Anyways, now he loves Maui and since I’m obviously bigger than him and have curly hair, he has now...

Delayed

My 18 month old is delayed in walking. He’s already getting early intervention, but today during therapy, the specialist said she was concerned that my son likes to throw toys instead of consistently playing with them. I kept asking questions about what concerns she had exactly and she mentioned it could be autism. ...

White noise- works??

I've used the tommee tippee pink noise machine multiple times with my 6 month old, consecutive days, but doesn't seem to make the blindest bit of difference. Mostly she looks around for the noise!! Anyone else? Thought this was the answer but maybe too late in age.

My son is 2

How do you teach your kids their private parts? I’m a first time mum and I’m not sure. I want to normalise those parts just like an arm or a leg. What do you do? What’s everyone’s different opinions? Sorry I hope it’s not a weird thing to ask. He’s just started saying the word “willy” but he only says it when he’s i...

Portage uk?

Anyone’s LO been involved in portage in the UK. My 19 month old son was declined by them due to not showing a 12 month delay. I’m struggling with what early intervention I can get for my non verbal son who only babbles and struggles to understand commands.
