My son is 5 months old and for a few weeks now, he HAS to have his hand on my face when I try to get him to sleep. And I find this really irritating.

His doctor is not concerned yet, she says they all develop at their own pace and his motor skills are great... but I worry anyway. Are your kids pointing?

My little boy is totally obsessed with the microwave 😂 whenever it goes on he will point and run to it, demanding to be picked up to watch it! To be fair he likes the noises of any machines really, the washing machine or dishwasher beeping and the kettle boiling are some other favourites. And thinking about it he…

My son turned three and I have a 3 month old daughter. I’m having trouble getting my son to listen. My son keeps running away when we go to places and having terrible tantrums.

So my son is nearly 9. We believe him to have ADHD and autism. We are on the very long waiting list for an assessment! I just wondered whether any other mums of similar age children have advice on how to handle the toddler behaviour he displays. He cannot deal with disappointment or conflict. He gets so annoyed an...

Advice needed, so my nearly 3 year old is starting to push the boundaries. Things like… running away and won’t come to get dressed or put shoes on when we need to go out, helping himself to food etc after I’ve told him “no” usual stuff really… I do the whole count to 3 business and it doesn’t work 🙄 I don’t want…

My son is around 11.5 months old and the last week he’s been throwing huge tantrums. If he wants my keys but I don’t let him hold them then he starts screaming and kicking his feet. If it’s nap time but he doesn’t want to nap then it’s constant screaming. He has also started wanting to be held but only by me, and ...

Advice needed please, my son has to have an inhaler as we are getting him assessed for asthma however he hates taking it he says it’s to scary. How can we get him to take it? We have showed him videos and told him why he needs to take it etc but he still doesn’t want to take it. He will scream and cry and push us aw...

My baby literally has her mouth gaping open all the time when people are talking to her and has this look in her eyes like nothing is going on in there 😆 (she does make eye contact when doing this) She obviously smiles and laughs too but she does this gormless thing a lot 😅 I’ve noticed my friends babies that are…

It’s my 15 months old 3rd settle in session at nursery today and he clung to my leg and cried when I gave him over, I feel awful and just wanted to ask do they eventually get used to it or is this a sign he’s not ready to go :(

When I’m sat on the floor playing with my 9 month old crawls/pulls himself up on me, rubs his face into me and then tries to bite me. I have been giving him chew toys to help but he doesn’t seem interested in these. Is anyone else experiencing this? He has been successful a couple of times and it’s painful!

My son wakes up crying several times a night. We try to ask him “why are you upset” or “why are you waking up” but he just says “I’m very crying” 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣. How can we teach him to understand the word why? We want to figure out what’s making him so upset so we can help him.
