Weaning Blues

My 19 month old refuses to wean. she literally pitches an entire fit (throwing her head back, will even hit me sometimes when I say no) I've tried going away for a few days or finding something to substitute that will soothe her but I'm struggling. Any suggestions are welcome

My boy is biting other kids

My boy 2.5years is biting other kids ands it’s awfully bad any advice how to stop. I have no idea what causes it but I think it’s generally when he doesn’t get what he wants or doesn’t want to share something.

Is this Normal?

My social feeds have been flooded with mummas self diagnosing their babies with Autism when they’re only infants, and they’ve said hand twirling is a sign. I thought this was completely normal, but now i’m not so sure (the anxious mum in me). Anyone elses bubbas do this? He does this alot!

Toddler keeps hurting himself

Please tell me I am not a terrible mother I just have a really active toddler that likes to jump and run of everything. Today he managed to hit himself on a Lego piece (fell and Lego was on the floor so just landed straight on it) and then as he borrowed my Stanley cup he dropped it on his toe.

Constant Tantrums

At the moment my 19 month old seems to be having constant tantrums. Nothing seems to settle him or make him happy and we are struggling! Today he has done nothing but whinge all day. We've done everything and he still seems to be miserable, even though there is nothing obvious wrong (no illness or teething etc.). ...

Baby stopped cooing.. now groans all the time! Any one else?

My little one has just turned 5 months. She was full of little coos and enjoyed "conversations" when she was smaller, but over the last month she's swapped this out for a constant groaning/humming noise.

Mums of tall babies

My girl has always been very tall - currently 74cm at 7.5 months and she is also slim. Could mums of tall babies share their experience with sitting and crawling?

Advice please

So sometimes my stepson accidentally hurts his younger brother (my bio child) who is 10 months old. He just hit him on the head with something and no one told him off, I picked my son up cause he was crying and now he has went off in a mood and won't speak to anyone. This usually happens, why is he doing it?
