Bouncing eyes

Hey, Baby girl is 7 weeks old and I’ve noticed today that her eyes have been bouncing up and down. This isn’t all the time and as of yet, there’s no pattern to when it’s happening (that I’ve noticed). It’s like her eyes are a pair of bouncy balls. Has anyone else seen this? I’m really trying not to panic as she is...

Anyone else’s toddler have a speech delay and difficult behaviour?

So my little one is 2 years and 3 months. He really is a lovely little boy, so smiley and happy but he is behind with his speech. I noticed this about 2 months ago but then nursery confirmed it a couple of weeks ago. In the past couple of weeks his behaviour seems to be spiralling out of control, hitting, biting, sp...

Crying at pick up at nursery

Does anyone else’s little one cry as soon as they see you when you pick them up? It breaks my heart every time even though I know he’s been completely fine the entire time he was there!

Non-subtle babies 😂

Anyone else find it hilarious how non-subtle babies are? Haha Our LO has been doing this thing recently during some meal times where she will be holding a piece of food (that she may no longer want) and then slowwwwly leans over the side of her chair, looking at me dead in the eye the whole time and just gently dro...

Listening

How do you tell your 13 month old off in a way where they listen because mine just thinks it’s a game so he keeps going back to do the things he knows he isn’t allowed to do

toddler speech delay

hi ladies! so I had an 18 month check up for my son today, and the maternal nurses think he may have a speech delay and referred me to speech pathology. I thought he was still in the early stages of talking? he's not really saying any words, more just speaking his own language, can obey some basic commands, and eve...

Speaking

How many words would you say your 1 year olds can say? Are they clear words? Or more sounds? Like animals or car sounds for example? Worried mine is behind.

Giggles

A few nights ago… we got our first giggle 🥹 best sound in the world !!! ( she likes a brummy accent 🤣 ) Made all the screaming fits feel worthwhile, the most amazing feeling getting to see our babies grow and learn every day. Keep going mummas 💘 not long till they are answering back 😂😂😂

Is my 11 delayed in certain things?

Hi all, My 11 month old doesn’t wave, clap (he does bash his toys together) shake his head or respond to his name. He also only says mum when he’s upset but that’s it. I mentioned he doesn’t respond to his name to the health visitor but she just said at this age he is very easily distracted and not to worry. Shoul...

Throwing

I know throwing is a skill that little ones learn around 12 months. My little one LOVES to throw things. Anything, and to be fair to him he’s rather good at it 😂 he loves throwing anything and then going to get it and throw it again… the issue I’m having is it is literally anything. He has the little toot toot…

Very worried

Early today me and my son were at his grandma house spending time. She put her prescription glasses on my son and moments later my son starts rubbing his eyes. I’m very worried now because my son is not even 2 years old yet. I know my son has great vision but now I hope this doesn’t mess up his vision for the long t...

Hyperactive baby

I know I shouldn’t but I have been reading about signs of adhd and autism in babies and stuff and it’s left me terrified a little. My son is very fidgety like he doesn’t settle down at all . He won’t play with one toy at a time he wants 2-3 toys in his hands at once. Doesn’t sit still and never concentrates at all ....

Developmental query

Hi mums - are your 2 month olds already making sounds/ babbling? And also are they already able to hold rattles or other toys? I think I’m watching too many videos and seeing other babies doing these things and I’m starting to overthink if my little one should already do them as well.
