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...

My 17month old is so behind on speaking, he still hasn’t said any words, babbled dada and for about 2 week months ago he babbled mama but that’s gone now, anyone else LB like this? Did they surprise you and just start picking it up? His dad was speech belayed/his mum just thinks he was shy(which he still is, isn’t v...

How long are people leaving scratch mittens on their baby for? Conscious of them using hands to explore but dont want them scratching their face (have cut their nails but they still feel quite sharp!)

Just wanted some opinions if my LOs behaviour seems normal or not as it’s suddenly happened in the last Hates wearing clothes Hates wearing nappies Hates having nappy changes Doesn’t respond well to transitions Really shy (used to be really social). Goes basically silent when around new people Massive tantrums if...

My little girl will be 10 months old in two days. I’ve tried teaching her and stimulating her to clap but she still doesn’t. I even hold her wee hands and show her how to do it. I sing “clap clap clap” and show her how to, she will smile but won’t try to clap herself. Is this normal?

I cannot keep him in his buggy for longer than 5 minutes unless there's an endless stream of snacks. I put his backpack reins on him and he goes absolutely bonkers because he can't run. He was flinging himself all over the place this morning because I stupidly attempted to walk with him round the shops. He just wan...

I find myself sometimes a little impatient with my son not walking but I know he’s at his own pace and also I keep forgetting he would technically 10 months right now but he came a month early😭I need to be more patient he’s going to do it

My LO is very chatty, bubbly, uses sign and some basic words at home. But it seems that in the nursery he is very quiet. Today I noticed that when asked a question in the nursery, he'd just stare at the person and not respond to them. He wouldn't have done that at home. Does anyone else have this with their 18month ...

Hello, my little boy has just turned 3 and I have always been concerned by his behaviour. I have read books, spoke to the HV and because he is our first, I just don’t know if his behaviour is “normal”. He is well Behaved at his nursery but when he is with us or family, his behaviour switches: - hitting - kicking -...

I have an almost 16m old girl (16m on the 6th) My concerns are, Hand flapping occasionally when excited/crying or when wheels on bus she hand flap saying round and round but I think she thinks doing the same movement as the song Hates zips being near her neck will keep pulling them same with sleeves if long sle...

Anyone’s nearly 2yo moaning all the time 🙄😆

Mums, please, no judgement. I feel awful as it is. My baby is 15 months old, and she has suddenly started biting me, she hasn't done it to anyone else but she does it to me loads, I'm not sure how to stop this early, she is currently teething but I don't want her doing it to people.. any advice would be great

Is anyone’s baby not babbling yet? I mean sounds like ba, ma, da etc? My LG is making loads of noise screaming, grunting and little aaahs and ooohs but no babbling yet 😢

Morning everyone. Quick question. My 9 month old is so nosey at meal times - and doesn’t look at me lots when I’m feeding him. He’s constantly looking at the dogs, into the garden etc. Stupid me googled it - and it talks about no eye contact at meal times being a sign of autism. Any thoughts? Thanks

Does anyone else's lo absolutely scream when it's time to trim and cut their nails? My boy screams like there is no tomorrow and arches his back. How can I get him to be more accepting? He's 12 months.

I know every baby develops differently and at their own pace but i do feel like my baby is behind. She’s 4.5 months. She’s not rolling, doesn’t even turn to the side to seem like shes trying. She doesn’t play with her feet. She hates tummy time so won’t do that for move than about 10 seconds. If i put her on her pla...

I am at a loss on what to do, my son (19 months) keeps slapping me. As it stands at the moment it’s just me and his baby sister (4 months) he’s hitting. He knows it’s wrong as he checks to make sure his dad isn’t looking before he does it but I’ve tried everything I can to stop it and it hasn’t worked. Any advice on...
