Should I be trying to get my little one to move on from arm crawling and onto hands and knees crawling/and how? She’s 8.5 months old and has been army crawling for just over a month. I’ve noticed she only really uses one side of her body too, has her right arm stretched out and her left arm bent in towards her. Both...

The no talking part doesn't scare me as much as no pointing. I know it's not considered a delay until 18 months but it's still very scary that most kids his age met this milestone and he didn't. His communication in general fell behind since he started walking, he's always on the go and very interested in moving aro...

Anyone’s else’s little one really jumpy and gets so scared over any little or loud noise?? My 10 month old seems to get scared at anyone coughing, laughing, talking all of a sudden, the hoover ect?😂

Anyone else’s baby started whimpering for attention? My girl will start whimpering, I’ll go to check on her and she starts smiling at me 🤣 girl watch your dancing fruit for 10 mins whilst I sterilise your bottles 🤣

My boy is nearly 5 months, army crawling backwards or 360° 😬

Hi has anyone else’s toddler been diagnosed with hyper mobility my 21 month old has been diagnosed I was always worried why they were not hitting their gross motor skill milestones on time he has recently started to walk with the walker but he is still not yet able to stand confidently on his own. He has been place...

What age do toddlers understand the word no, I keep saying “no” to my toddler when he’s playing with the lamp, curtains, grabbing my phone charger. He doesn’t seem to understand, I keep pulling him away but it results in a full blown meltdown, please tell me it’s not just me!

Redirecting doesn’t work often enough. 2 year old keeps smacking kicking and trying to jump on 4 month old brother. I’m in tears every day from him slipping past me and getting to him. I don’t know what else to do I’m exhausted I’m stretched so thin and I can’t even trust him while I pop into the kitchen to grab som...

My little one is 10 months old and she is very vocal with her voice making sounds etc but yet to babble like saying ‘ mamama, dadada, bababa etc’ sometimes i get the odd ‘yeahhh’ but the rest is just vocalising her voice, She knows her name when we call for her 90% of the time and eye contact is good when talking to...

Hey mamas, My 2 year old had a busy weekend and did soft plays two days in a row/trampoline park, yesterday he started limping on one leg and he isn’t putting any weight on his leg. I’m thinking it could be a pulled muscle and maybe he’s over done it this weekend. Any advice would be appreciated or has this ever h...

Hello Is your little one saying words yet like mama / dada? Our little boy chatters away a lot but hasn't said anything of the sort Hoping to read some people's babies haven't yet Thanks

I honestly am starting to worry my neighbours are gonna think I neglect my kid 🥴 the crying has ramped up the last few days. Obviously tantrums are tantrumming but even apart from tantrums I’m just finding my toddler seems so much more emotional/sensirive/whingy? The last couple of days he’s woken up from his nap…

Is there anyone who works with children or can offer advice from own experience? I’ve always had a feeling my son is a few months behind his peers in terms of milestones. I’ve raised with nursery and they say he’s doing what he should but is probably on the later end development wise across the board. Every few wee...

Comment the words they say!

Hi all, last few days my 8 week old has suddenly started screaming half way through a bottle. Its almost like a hunger scream but he doesn't want any more and within a few mins he's falling asleep. Anyone experienced the same?

Looking for some mommy hacks,my 9 month old is an absolute nightmare during diaper change,he cries and tries to roll over.

Just popping on for a little bit of advice, my 3 year old has been seeing his ped for showing symptoms of impulsive adhd. Just now we’re going through a bit of an aggressive stage which consists of biting hitting etc. I have bought him some of the chew necklaces to help with the biting, ped has put him onto melatoni...

Really challenging behaviour from my little boy. Constant screaming meltdowns from the top of his lungs. Screaming because he doesn’t want to go out then screaming because he then doesn’t want to come home. It’s got to the point where I’m dependant on other people for getting out of the house with him because it’s s...

My 1 year old is FERAL 😵‍💫 anyone else’s little darling turned 1 and become an absolute terror? I don’t know why they call it the terrible 2s, because it’s definitely started at 1 in this household. The tantrums when he can’t master something straight away or if I dare tell him no are something else. And…
