Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Milestones

My baby boy is nearly 16 months old and not walking g yet. He walks on his tip toes even with shoes on. He walks independently with his walker and around furniture, will take one hand off and reach for another surface! Should I be worried ?

Is anyone else super irritable?! 37+4 and I want to scream!

is anyone else’s baby not clapping yet? my son doesn’t clap and doesn’t have his pincer grasp down yet. he hits all his other milestones on time, he crawls, he pulls to stand, he stands on his own, he cruises, he has said a few words, he’s such a happy healthy baby but it just doesn’t seem like he wants to use his h...

Those of you that suspect their child might be on the spectrum. Do you think is better to keep them at home and maybe get them to do speech therapy . Or have u placed them in nursery does that disrupt them ?

Anyone else’s 10 month old not saying “mama” or “dada” yet? Only word she’s saying so far is “baba” and that’s it

My 2 month old has been fussy and constantly crying even when feeding he cry’s as if someone is hurting him ( which no one is ) and I don’t know what to do, it’s hard for me or dad to get him to calm down. Any suggestions or advice? He’s been like this for 2 days already ever since he got his shots …

My sons behaviour has gotten so bad lately. Hitting, screaming when frustrated & just not listening at all. I’ve tried all the approaches and nothing works, just feeling deflated and feeling like it’s something I’ve done that’s caused this, or hoping it’s just a stage I have to ride out, i just feel at a complete l...

My son took some time to start properly babbling and imitating, especially imitating. But he did it, and it was there on and off. However, I now realize I haven't heard either in a while. Also, he has no first word and doesn't point. From what I know of autism these things might be a symptom. His gross motor skills ...

It's breaking my heart, I feel like I've done something wrong. My girl has just turned 18m and seems really behind with her speech. She will say Ma and Da and will say Doh instead of Ta. She makes lots of noises, is conctantly babbling or just sort of grunting. She does have a lip tie which the dentist said could ...

I swear my boy 8.5m is having tantrums... screaming, holding his breath, throwing his head back, when he doesn't get his own way? He does it every time I try and change his nappy, take something off of him or stop him from doing something. He usually calms down almost straight away once distracted! I wasn't expe...

My LO is 9 months on January 29th and she’s been sitting very happily since about 5 months. Can roll both ways but hates being on her tummy and has no inclination to crawl! She tries to pull herself up on me and likes standing up and trying to walk (while holding onto. Y hands). She can’t get into the sitting positi...

Anyone else walking on eggshells around their toddler at the moment!? Never sure what will set off a hugeee tantrum and/or aggressive behaviour

How do I stop him from doing this I'm constantly telling him to get down and putting him back on the floor he's at the age where he's testing the boundaries. Any ideas as I'm constantly going round in circles trying to stop him from pulling the tv off the wall and hurting himself.

I keep seeing everywhere that babies around 4 months are playing with toys?? My little girl is 4 months and doesn’t really show much interest in toys still? Does anyone have the same issue? Or any toy recommendations?

Anyone on this boat? He hasn’t done the bababa, mamama, dadada for a while. Does it for back?

My baby keeps repeating words or two word sentences over and over until acknowledged. Is this normal? Like today he said “itchy back” over and over until I repeated it back to him in acknowledgment. Or he’ll see the moon in the sky or on a picture and say “ moon” over and over. Like, It’s so repetitive and I’m like...

also - from what i remember from my oldest, the only thing that can be done is tylenol and it running its course right? can she still go trick or treating this weekend if she’s in a stroller and doesn’t actually come in contact with anyone??

My 1 year old got punched in the face with a closed fist by a 5 year old. I know kids punch and push but hit in a face with a fist and such a big age difference?

Today my 3.5 year old told me he doesn’t love me. I told him i love him before bed and he said “I don’t love you mommy” 💔 I know he doesn’t mean it or probably understand completely but it doesn’t make it make me feel less sad. 😔 and he kept saying it over and over. It just made me feel sad. 😞

I need help with how I can help my boy. He is a very energetic little boy, however he absolutely hates groups of people, even family he will get extremely overwhelmed and cry until I sit in a room alone with him, despite seeing them individually regularly. He also hates anything touching him such as wet/dirty hands ...
