Anyone finding this the hardest stage yet?

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...

Help

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…

Is anyone’s baby talking yet?

By talking I mean saying words with intent, not babbling

No talking

My 19 month old says only 6 words but understands around 30 and babbles all day long. Would you seek advice from a professional?

Those of you who cut out or heavily reduced screen time..

How long was it hard for before things improved? Really want to start this with my 2 year old, he’s lovely and smart and tantrums aren’t a massive issue but he’s had chicken pox and much more tv than usual and now seeing more tantrums when I tell him no to any screens. I don’t necessarily want to cut it out entire...

Premie hearing

My son passed his hearing test. He has startled at things at home like if something fell and made a noise but today he didn’t startle to the vacuum. Do you think that means he might be deaf?

Ear infection or grabbing his ears??

My baby is happy. He sleeps through the night but when he’s upset, he’ll grab his ears or pull on his ears and scream like he’s in pain. Most of the time he’s calm but he gets these moments where he’s flipping out and covers his ears. He doesn’t have a temp and again he’s happy most of the time. Does anyone else’s b...

3 months old

Anyone else’s 3 month old gone from being really happy to really grumpy and just cries? He’s struggled with feeding anyway so that always results in screaming but he’s gone from smiley and happy to constantly being grouchy and moaning or crying. Not sure how much longer I can take the crying all the time.

UNCOMFORTABLE!!

So does anybody else get cat called, beeped, whistled, jeered at, heckled (you get the picture) when you’re just out walking your child in the pram? I thought all of that was in the past when immature men liked to get the attention of lone females, but it’s making me so uncomfortable and intimidated to go out walki...

Not talking?

Had our 15 month checkup with the HV today and she made me feel like absolute shit that our baby isn’t saying any words really. I just think he’ll get there in his own time! Seeking reassurance that we aren’t the only babies not talking yet 😩

Development question

Should I be concerned my 13 week old little girl doesn't really reach out to grab things in front of her yet? It's like she just doesn't think to grab it. If I put something in her hand she will hold it. She smiles and is getting physically stronger but other than that what else should she be doing at this age? Firs...

Temper tantrums! 🤣

Does anyone else have a baby who is absolutely determined to do everything, but all they're capable of doing is rolling around? My little girl keeps getting incredibly frustrated because she can't crawl yet, or sit herself up, or pull herself to a standing position. She ends up getting really frustrated and having...
