Has anyone ever had a 2 1/2 year old who only says a few words and for the most part doesn’t talk?

Hi! Anyone else’s baby constantly have split big toenails? Like not from top to bottom more like diagonal across the corners? She gets them like at least once a fortnight just worrying she might be lacking something in her diet or if it’s just normal!

My upstairs neighbors are very loud. And it sounds like they put their toddler in her room and then she bangs on the door so loud until the dad comes in screaming at her and spanks her and then she’s screaming. This has happened a few times in the last few months. Also they have their toddler up until 11pm every nig...

My son is 2 and a half. He attends nursery 3 days a week and has done since August. Since then, his speech has exploded and he's a proper little chatterbox at home. However, he's not speaking to the nursery practitioners much at all. They were teaching colours today and he knows his colours and can tell us what colo...

My LO when he gets annoyed will kneel on the floor and press his mouth to the floor or grab me and lean into me with his mouth. Is this normal toddler tantrum?

My daughter bites sometimes when she is frustrated / lacking control in situations like getting her dressed or saying she can't go get a snack she wants. Do any of your toddlers do this too? Is it just mine? It happens several times a week

My son is hitting, kicking biting and head cutting and if he doesn't get his way he intentionally try to hurt himself, I try to talk him down I try to remove him the situation I don't know what else to do😮‍💨

Anyone else’s baby not crawling but is trying hard to. It’s so because I feel as if he’s behind

My baby is now 4 months. She smiled early and seemed to be doing as expected but now I seem to not get as many smiles as I would have expected and also sometimes she will look anywhere other then at me with or without distractions. She's very interested in food though! My partner thinks I am being paranoid but I'm ...

For the last two days my 12 week year old hasn’t been able to be with anyone else and will scream if I’m not holding him. Just wondering if he is becoming a Velcro baby or something else going on.

Anyone else struggling? It’s getting harder and harder to deal with a toddler. All those tantrums, not wanting to go to the nursery in the morning, not wanting to get dressed, wanting something ridiculous I don’t have etc etc etc. Starting to worry that lifting a heavy toddler in the midst of a tantrum can be danger...

Does anyone use knee pads for their babies when crawling? We have hard wood floors through ours downstairs and our girl always seems to have red knees from them. Want to make sure she's not hurting. Any recommendations?

My little girl is 11 months, and has always been independent - in day to day life at least, night time is another story 👀🤣 she would always happily independently play for most of the day, never be bothered if I went into another room, only ever cried if she was hungry, tired or had a 💩 She got really poorly a…

Is your baby doing gestures and what are they? My girl hold her arms up to be picked up and that’s literally it, she’s 12 n bit months, should I be worried ?

Has anybody else got a biter? I wasn’t expecting this until closer to two but he’s relentless with it at the minute! How do you deal with this? He just laughs when he’s told no🫠

Is anyone else’s baby just screeching all the time? I mean like high pitched screaming not crying, like a banshee scream. Sometimes she’ll do it when she’s frustrated but a lot of the time it’s just random and she’s not upset or anything. Starting to give me a headache🥲

In a nutshell shell, it sounds like she needs to poo or is trying to poop but she isn’t. She keeps making these noises all day long and no matter if she’s in the carrier, her bouncer or laying on the floor. I can’t tell if she’s just obsessed with her new noise and is repeating it or if there’s something wrong but ...

Does anyone else’s lo rub their feet together? My lo has started doing it when sitting on the floor. I’ve only recently noticed it and dr google isn’t helping my anxiety 🙈🤣

Does anyone else’s LO rub their head into your chest? Is that normal? She does it frequently. Sometimes I think it’s her rooting and also being sleepy just wondering if anyone else is going through this.

Hi all, I wondered if you had any tips on how and what I need to do right now to help with my baby’s learning. Should I be building first words flash cards etc? I’d love to start teaching him about animal sounds but how do I start? Are there any toys or techniques you also recommend for this age to begin conce...
