go to settings > display and brightness and turn off “raise to wake”. This stops the screen from turning on when picked up or moved. Then go to settings > accessibility > tap to wake. This makes the phone way less interesting when touched as the screen won’t come on. After doing this my baby doesn’t want my phone ...

My baby gets super purple feet, even when she’s slightly cold. Is this just us or is there any other babies like this?

Anyones baby in their screaming era?😂 Whether shes happy screaming, sad screaming, excited, tired, she is screaming at the top of her lungs!! Feel bad for the neighbours 😂 I look at her wide eyed when she does it and she proper belly laughs she deffo thinks its a game lol

Hey mum's, So my 16 month old knows how to fully walk now, inside my home, he loves walking around but when I take him out and put him on the street with his shoes on and try to walk him, he cries a lot, I've checked his shoes and they fit him fine but I can't seem to understand why he cries if I get him to walk o...

My son is 21 months and still is not talking- my Pediatrician isnt worried about it & says everything is fine cause its still early. Any boy moms going thru this? Its been super overwhelming at times. Failing to meet ‘milestones’ can be so stressful. Any tips mama bears

I’m wondering if anyone else’s toddler doesn’t speak much yet. My son knows less than 10 words and some are in his own way, he is 19 months. He says “wow”, “bye”, “hi”, “nana” (banana), “ba” (bottle), “boo”, “blue”. He knows what things are when I talk to him though, for example if I tell him where’s his dinosaur he...

At 15 months did/does your little one follow simple instructions like “come here” “can I have the ball?“ etc

The nursery workers at church were extremely excited and enjoying showing that my son can read the wors of colors, at first I was like okay cool, not wanting to burst their b7bble that he's probably memorized the words when seeing the colors, then they for to a page that said 'Many Colors' and was asked what the pag...

My son turned 8 months last week. He is very close to crawling, he army crawls for now which I understand is typical for his age but it’s his language I’m getting worried about.. I’m not sure if he’s so hyper focused on crawling and gross motor skills that he put his language and communication skills on the back bur...

I’m a stay at home mom and I use a cup. I’ve been able to distract my son - with the tv - while I’m on my period to wash my cup. I’m curious what other moms do. Has anyone talked to their toddlers about it? My son is 2.5. His comprehension is great, but I feel like this is still too large of a concept for him to u...

What do you all recommend for a toddler who is hitting his new sucking? And everyone else. This is really sudden. He's kicking the cats, hitting sister and mom and Dad and pinching. We'd worked really hard on gentle touch ages ago and this is probably related to the new sibling but I don't know what tactic to take. ...

How are your 2.5 year olds with colors? My son just straight out rejects this concept. I have tried so many times but he shuts down when we talk about colors. The daycare says he kind of does the same. Am I crazy to think he might be color blind? He talks quite a bit and doing well in other areas. Some counting, s...

She's been getting around in one way or the other for a while now but literally just now she's started crawling forwards 😫🥹. No question I'm just so proud I had to share with everyone that will listen 😂. Thank you for reading 😁💕 (Yes at 11pm 😬🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️)

My MIL is making me anxious because my DS is 6.5 months old and doesn't babble/chat anymore. He used to babble/chat to me lots at roughly 4 months but he stopped and hasn't done it for over a month now. He has reached all other milestones. He laughs and looks for us when he hears our voices. He seems like he is more...

Does anybody else’s baby scream the minute you put them in the chair and start to put the bib on to feed them? Takes the food fine but the screaming is becoming so hard to deal with. Screaming whilst preparing the food / in between food. I can’t decide if it’s the chair, the bib, or just being strapped in that she d...

My 8-day-old baby’s breathing is very hard to notice when she’s sleeping or lying down. When I look at her chest, I can barely see it rising and falling. Has anyone else experienced this with their baby? Why does this happen? Obv she makes noises everyone and then but its worrying sometimes

My little one is 14 weeks and he wants to be held all the time. It’s impossible for me to get anything done.He will cry his eyes out when you put him down. Is this some sort of cycle he’s going through? It can be a bit overwhelming sometimes.

She’s a very smart strong willed girl for a start…if we go out she will run off every time but laughs. She is very whingy at the moment and I have had people come up to me like “ you have your hands full”. Her speech is great so she’s always either yelling singing etc. I feel like people feel sorry for us and I’m li...

Does anyone else’s baby scream during diaper changes no matter what? I’ve tried everything—music, shushing, dim and bright lighting, a wipe warmer, changing with my husband, using a rattle for distraction, and even making the changing area warmer—but nothing seems to help. Has anyone found anything that works?

Isit normal for my baby to flap her hands when she gets excited specially bubbles?
