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...

Just wondering if this is some developmental thing. My baby really likes to slap everything at the moment. It started out with my hand when I was lying next to her. I think she quite enjoyed the sound it made. But now she'll slap my face, eyes and throat several times when I'm holding her and she's strong so it does...

My daughter almost doesn't seem interested in anything more than babbling and what she already says. I can't even get her to try and say any other words. Any recommendations on words that might be easier for her to say that I can try?

How long do I give my baby (3 month-old) to adjust to daycare? He goes 3 days a week and just completed his first week. 1 day was ok at pickup but the other 2 were hard. He was screaming one day at pickup while they were trying to feed him and had spit up everywhere. Today, he looked so pale, had purple around his e...

When are we supposed to stop teaching sign language and encourage verbal words only?

Is anyone else dealing with their babies biting? My twins turn 1 on the 22nd of next month & the biting is getting out of control. My son will crawl to me & then bit me, he’s also biting his sister. I took them off of pacifiers around 6 months, but I’m starting to think that might be the best option now. Is there an...

My son holds his breath and kicks his legs for a few seconds . He then breathes again and does the same thing Iver and over again. I feel he's playing, but what a weird game. Anyone had that ?

I’m constantly seeing parents say their babies saying mama & dada but my baby is only saying “ahh” and screaming the house down or making grunting sounds should this be a worry

my little girl is almost 3yr old and I thought it gets better as they get older but it’s worse now ! the crying is worse (always crying) the car rides are much more frustrating , the “NO” is a lot more than the yes, she doesn’t listen anymore, she is always running around, jumping or crying when we are outside and ...

My little girl is just over 4 months old and I've noticed she's been staring at one place like she's zoning out. She doesn't do it for too long but more frequently past week. Is this normal? Or should I get it checked with gp?

My baby girl is 9months old but she is so stubborn and loud sometimes she scares me. She literally yells at me shouts at me and when she is standing I try to hold her hands she pulls her hands out from mine and tries to stand on her own and than obviously she fall and cries. And another thing she is so clingy I sit ...

What's the most annoying thing your baby father does?! Mine harasses me with calls and texts from all different text now numbers just to ask me how's his son doing?! The minute i answer like he good. He starts a negative conversation with me. Block button much?

Constantly having nursery talk to me about my boys behaviour. He doesn’t listen, doesn’t sit still, doesn’t have kind hands etc… they seem to find it hard with him and juggling the other children. His little brother was born in October, he’s changed rooms so now with different children and recently potty trained. ...

When do babies stop touching your face when feeding or going to sleep? Our little girl has always found comfort in touching our face, however its now getting too much as she tries to grab our lips or nose😂🤦🏼‍♀️. She gets frustrated if we don’t let her.. any tips on how we get her to stop?
