Biting and hitting

My 16 month old has started to bite and hit. I’ve noticed that if we react and engage, he’ll do it more. When we say no, he’ll keep doing it. Should we just ignore and hope this habit stops?

Not holding baby properly

I have an issue. Several times I caught my husband holding our baby and changing hands or simply for a short time (but still!) without supporting his back, but only by the neck (holding with one hand). I constantly tell him that this is not allowed and even cry (it worries me a lot), but he does it again and again! ...

how many words was your kid saying at 1 year? (aside from mama and dada)

i am an autistic first time mom, and i am kind of paranoid about my daughter also having autism. it runs in both mine & dads family. she says some words, but not always appropriately (example: "drink", but doesnt want any drink thats offered to her) is this normal? poll for attention & short answers 🫶

Advice

Sorry if this is a long post. I’m just at my wits end. My little boy is 14 months old, & I don’t know if this is a stage or if it’s normal or not or if I’m just doing it all wrong. To start, he is such a happy boy usually, will independent play, liked to cuddle etc but lately he is constantly wanting to be picked ...

Speech

Should I be concerned. My little girl is 16 months old and hardly says anything. When she wants to she says mum, dad, what’s that etc but she doesn’t say it all the time, she usually just grunts or says it when she wants something. Keep getting told to check her for autism and stuff like that but think she just do...

If you use baby sign language and baby consistently says the beginning sound of the word while doing the sign do you count it as saying the word?

My little is 9 months and has started trying to say a lot recently. She has a lot of signs down but has started pairing sounds. She’s consistently adding “ba” to ball, “daw” to dog, “ni ni” to night night or sleep sign, a few others that aren’t as consistent like more and all done. I really want to count it cos she ...

Non verbal advice

My 19 month boy started saying Yh Yh Yh. He copied once on camera. Is this showing good signs of speech coming? He doesn’t copy us unless we blow raspberries or Indian laugh. We still think this video is a fluke.

UK ladies: toddler is calling everything a ‘scallywag’ 😂

My 3 year old recently started watching Octonauts and one of the characters calls bad guys ‘scallywags’ it’s not exactly a swear word but it’s not very polite… he’s not saying it to people but will say it when he’s engaged in play…. Partner thinks it’s bad… I find it hilarious tbh. What are your thoughts?
