Hi, does anyone else’s little one say very few words? My boy (21m)only says around 7 words but they aren’t consistent. He does try say other words but hasn’t quite mastered them yet

my baby will be 5 months in 2 weeks. he has great eye contact when laid on the ground and smiles and giggles and is reaching all his milestones. However, when i hold him up close to my face he avoids all eye contact with me and is too worried about all his surroundings. is this normal or should i be concerned?

Anyone else’s LO saying words yet?

Does anyone else's baby still not crawl on all 4s? My girl has been army crawling now for months and she is able to pull herself up and has started cruising but she just refuses to go on her knees for crawling. 😅🤷‍♀️ anyone else?

My son is 15 month old and still hasn’t said mama or dada. I think he only says it when I tell him to SOMETIMES only. Any one else??

Hi my name is Sarah and I have an 19 month son who we've been told by 3 childminders and others professionals they're pretty sure he has autism. We're waiting for a space in a talk and play block of sessions, call from a senco and a health visitor appointment follow up. It came as a shock because I just thought some...

Mine says a few words but isn’t mimicking me, saying dada or saying words very clearly. Relatively clearly says “mama” “ball” “snack” “bird” “duck” and maybe a few more. I see so many other children able to say a lot more and much clearer and I’m worried 😟

My month old baby is very quiet is that fairly normal ? Who else has a quiet baby

Does anyone else’s 6 month old scream and cry at the top of their lungs when you leave the room? I feel like my LO is getting worse when I leave him in the other room while I’m doing something quickly like going for a wee or making his breakfast, getting a drink etc he screams and cries really loudly until I come ba...

10.5 months and still not crawling, feel like I’m the only one?! My little one gets all over the place rolling, shuffling, going from lying down to sitting and back to lying down, sliding etc etc. but no crawling! People have started saying oh maybe he’ll just walk but he’s a million miles from walking. He’ll pull h...

Baby has a habit for few months now to bite, biting all family jokingly and he finds it funny when we tell him off. I tried not to pay attention, offer teether instead. Nothing seems to work. Help!

Has anyone else's 5 month old started walking with assistance? This morning he took a few proper steps with me giving him assistance (I was just helping him stand on his feet and he just started going so wasn't expected!🤣) My lb has been wanting to be on his feet standing a fair bit recently (we always hold him so…

Is anyone else's little one becoming frustrated at everything? If I take a toy away she gets so angry I am trying to figure out the best way to teach her

My girl is 4 weeks on Monday and for the last week she has been so miserable. Screaming like this for hours on end. We have tried winding her non-stop, bicycle legs, belly massage, baths, swaddling and nothing helps. She literally screams until she is exhausted and then wakes up screaming and it starts all over agai...

So my wife often calls our baby names when she’s doing something she doesn’t like, examples - pulling her hair, grumbling at her, grabbing her face. She used to call her a little bitch and I’d always say stop, that’s really awful. There are various things she now calls her and I keep saying stop with the unkind na...

Hey! My LO is just about 14 months and he has stopped saying “mama” and “dada”. He used to say them sometimes (not sure he knew what they meant but he’d say them). He doesn’t say ANY words now, just sounds. I’ve become familiar with what his different sounds mean (excited, frustrated, etc.) Even with a verbal prompt...

Anyone else's LO refuse to call you mama? My daughter has probably 15-20 words / signs, including papa, but just won't call me mama. I know it's nothing to take personally, but it does make me a little sad

My 16 month old tries to pronounce the word 'vehicle' and he sounds too cute.... He be like 'V-koo-koo' 😆

Okay, so I was a little upset when my may22,24 baby (almost 5mo) still isn’t rolling seeing that others are but she is semi sitting, semi standing (with help), and semi starting to wiggle around lol. Sometimes I question what is doing but hey, it’s her world, I’m just living in it Gotta stop comparing to others, ...

Is that normal? lol. Like he can walk without assistance all day, he’s great. But he’s soooooo unstable sometimes. He knocks hisself out a few times a week. I know they need to find their footing & all, so I guess my question is when are they more stable? I haven’t brought this up to his pediatrician yet, but we...
