My baby is 13 months old and he’s just started slapping my face, when I say no firmly he either makes a crying noise or looks but then does it again a short while later … is this normal?

Our little boy still isn’t walking as yet, he is almost 18 months old. He will pull to stand using furniture and crawl etc. He can’t stand up on his own without leaning onto something. He can’t stand up independently from like the middle of the room like other kids younger than him. He can only walk using his wa...

Hey! I have a wonderful, social, active and happy 19 month old boy. Over the past 7 months I have heard him say roughly 30 words. With maybe 10-12 that he uses daily. My concerns are.. he does not repeat anything like other toddlers I know. He will only say words in their total context, not when asked. He knows ...

My lb is 15 months and will walk around in a baby walker and push along something for the first time tonight. He stands for a few seconds unaided. He refuses any help. When should I worry Thank you

Are they saying most singular words or are they starting to put words together?

Anyone else’s one year old constantly touching or pulling at their ears now? He never used to do this but has been doing it a lot, he seems his usual self and doesn’t have a fever or anything like that but I’m worried it’s not normal, I know babies do this when they’re tired but he does it even after having a sleep.

Can your 13/14 month olds point out body parts yet. So point correctly if you say nose, ears, head, mouth etc?

Anyone else's 2 and half year old driving them insane?! Since starting preschool, it has been wild. Shouting, screaming if she doesn't get her way. Honestly not enjoying this stage at all.

Hi, my 4 month old little girl just does not tolerate car journeys longer than 20 mins. She started off rear facing in the back which was terrible for my nerves as she would cry I’ve had to pull over multiple times to calm her and give her a hug. She’s now in the front with me as I have isofix in the front but it’s ...

Hi all! My LG is coming up to 10 months soon and she is able to crawl faster than I can walk. I have gotten her a balance bike to try out and she can ride it independently! I still hold my arms out just in case, but she seems to have gotten the hang of it. Is it too early to be letting her ride this? She is unable ...

How the hell do u guys teach ur kids things! My kid is 16 months old, I’ve been trying to teach him to point, and everything but he literally ignores me. Or just doesn’t wanna do it. And idk how to make him learn and I feel so frustrated bcuz I’m being ignored by a toddler

Is anyone else’s baby making a clicking noise when feeding from bottles. She’s on 5-6oz of milk, she has no tongue tie either, does anyone know what this could be???

my son is 20 months and he’s my first child so i have no one to compare him against but wondered if he’s showing autistic traits? - doesn’t respond to his name - only says mum/dad but never in context - won’t try new foods - lines toys up and then moves them again to another spot then repeats - occasionally walks...

My toddler keeps walking on his top toes someone told me it’s a sign of autism does anyone know anything about this and should I contact my HV? Thanks

My baby really hates the car seat now, he screams and screams until he can hardly breathe, he’s bright red, his eyes are sore and I feel terrible that I can’t do anything😫 eventually he’ll go to sleep but this can take over 20 minutes of crying and it makes me feel so guilty that he feels mumma isn’t coming for him…

My little boy turned 6 months a couple of days ago and for around 3 weeks all he’s been saying is dada, makes me so jealous 😂but is anyone else’s little one saying mama yet?

Hey all. Looking for a bit of advice. On Friday last week my daughter was picked up from her nursery and they said that they were just a bit concerned with how accident prone she was and asked me to take her to the doctors to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her ears (balancing). That’s what I did, they ...

Anyone else’s toddler really acting out at the moment? She is usually really well behaved & loves being complimented on her good behaviour, but lately she has been so naughty and horrible. She suddenly hates all of her friends & family who visit, she’s started hitting other people and screaming in their faces, she’s...

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on how to teach my little girl how to say mama. Shes 10 months soon and all she says is dada/ daddy and baba (mind you, her dad isn’t present from birth so I’n sure she’s calling me dada)

Hi ladies, I’m feeling a bit concerned and could use some reassurance. My baby will be 10 months in a week, but she’s not quite crawling yet—just doing the belly crawl. We’ve tried lots of exercises to help her, but she gets frustrated quickly. She’ll stand when I help her up next to the sofa, but she hasn’t starte...
