Okay so my son was playing with paint yesterday and he told me that he was painting his toenails. I know it’s silly but should I be concerned?

Feel like my boy is falling behind with speech. I've seen and heard lots of toddlers his age speaking two word sentences and our boy just isn't there yet. He probably has a vocabulary of maybe 50/60 words but it's all single words. Feeling anxious.

My little one is starting to get more vocal - has said their first words in context: look, hello, all done and dada. As well as invented sounds for things like milk. But is just not saying mama. I’m trying not to let it get to me but is making me a bit sad. Anyone else finding the same? He seems to understand mama,...

Anyone did Cavehill with their toddler? Is it doable? How was the experience? Any tips? Thanks mums

Her tantrums consists of her head banging, throwing herself around, whether it be backwards or forwards, hair pulling (her own), scratching, kicking, if she's on the bed or couch she'll...

I use this as infrequently as possible but it is magic every time. Mostly during end stages of car rides when baby has had enough or during difficult flippy nappy changes — and it’s actually a bearable song, too! Anyone else? 😂

How many word sentences is your almost 2 year old saying? My daughter just said a 6 word sentence tonight! 🥹 “Baby bunny drink the almond milk” heheheh.

What milestones should my 2 month be hitting already? I know every baby is different but are there things he should absolutely be doing already.

My little girl is 23 months old and my second is due anyday.. my girl has just recently started hitting all the time, slapping, spitting, biting, pinching, getting angry, and not listening to things that she does have understanding of and has always listened t...

My son will be 2 on May 16th and he has been hitting and pulling hair--how do I get him to stop? I've been trying to tell him to be gentle and I show him the way to do it when he wants to touch something and stuff like that but it doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions? Do I bring this up to his pediatrician?

I’m curious if anyone else is experiencing this, my little boy has hit every other milestone and walks like a champ. HOWEVER he isn’t saying anything. Now I know it could be a LONG time before he says words and I get that, but does anyone else’s child simple grunt and moan ALL DAY long? I am not trying to sound mean...
