Timeout/sandtimers etc

My daughters just turned 2 and starting to push boundaries which I know is completely normal and something I can’t avoid however I obviously need to teach her she can’t be doing certain things like slapping us when she’s told no. Just wondering how you all deal with bad behaviour? Does anyone reccomend using a sand ...

Grunting loudly

I have an almost 7 week old baby and around 3am she begins to grunt. Very loudly. Last night I actually realised that she was asleep whilst doing it. It can last a few hours. I really don’t think it’s Reflux. It seems more gastrointestinal. Any advice welcome.

22 month old weirdish behavior

Idk if this is weird or if I'm just being overprotective but my son has done this twice now. We never really got out a lot since we moved and just recently started going out and going to playgroups etc. Twice now (not right away after being in the room with them for a little bit) but he's ran up to people he's neve...

Coffee table

Any moms with boys or girls who like to climb, do you let them stand on the coffee table? I have a wooden one and my son has been climbing up on it. Part of me wants to let him because it’s a semi safe environment with carpet… But also, there is obviously some danger. For those of you who don’t allow it how do you s...

20 month old won't say mama or mummy

He seems to be developmentally on track. He knows how to say about 20 words including dada, but he won’t call me mama! His understanding of language is quite good. He can point to almost every part of his body, but when I ask him to say mama qnd mummy he won't do it. It's really upsetting me. He will even say his co...
