Have a toddler boy 2 got evaluated and qualified for OT but I honesty don’t know necessarily understand why or how a child needs it I don’t know much as in like what is normal or bad behavior. I feel really bad like I messed up somewhere I’m sure I haven’t but maybe I have ? Idk they said something about he’s a sen...

So my daughter just started actually crawling like 2wks ago. Before that she was doing a weird army crawl but backwards. Now she's trying to stand. I'm a new mom and not sure when the milestones are. Honestly I feel like she's a little behind and it's my fault because I didn't do a lot of tummy time but she hated tu...

Anyone’s babies saying and words? My baby just started saying mama out of the blue and it’s the cutest thing 🥹

Anyone else’s baby still not babbling ‘Ba da ma’ etc? Our boy makes lovely sounds and is very vocal but doesn’t babble in the traditional way we’re told they’re meant to, and I’m getting worried. He’s super physical and almost walking. 10 months old…

He fights me so hard when I pin him down to do it that i physically can’t achieve it, he thrashes so much. Normally I resort to doing it when he’s asleep but now he has even worked out while he’s sleeping when I’m touching his feet and keeps kicking his legs away. So I’m not even being successful during bedtime / na...

So my baby isn’t quite walking yet !! Should I be worried he will be 14 months on the 23rd ? He is crawling and all over the place he walks around the coffee table and pulls himself self up on everything … he just hasn’t tried to walk independently. Also when I go in public all he wants is down do you mama just ...

Is your LO crawling ? We are at 9 months and not doing well 🤦🏼‍♀️😅

Is anyone else's 2 y/o in their "no phase"? My son is horrible and he thinks it's completely funny. His father and I tell him yes all the time and he still says no

Every time I try to teach baby something (clap, stand, wave, "mama") he gets frustrated and just throws a tantrum. What should I do?

Does anyone else’s toddler like to injury themselves. (No he hasn’t hurt himself badly). He just enjoys smacking his head into mine and the walls and stuff. Mainly if he’s in trouble or he has to go to bed. He will thrash about and smack his head into the walls or his bed frame. Or he will flail about and smack his ...

Is anyone else’s baby still spending HOURS crying everyday for no apparent reason? One minute he’s smiling the next he’s screaming! It’s not reflux or CMA as he’s being treated for both of these! When does it get better 😭?

Over the last couple of days my son’s vocabulary has started to take off, and he’s really chatting and absorbing everything… with that being said he’s started almost stuttering..? Idk if that’s even the right word.. he repeats the same word over a few times before he finishes his thought.. “Mama.. mama.. mama.. ma...

Can someone tell me if there child has/had extreme aggression to the point as leavening scratches and bruises from attacking me, my child is 4 and has the tantrums but she is so aggressive she can make me bleed and if I try and put her in her own room for timeout she will start smacking her head on things

anyone’s babes standing unassisted for a few seconds at a time??? (this is new to me as my son didn’t until 10 months)

Had some new WiFi installed and my son would not stop calling this man dada I was so embarrassed saying no that’s not dada he’s at work. I don’t know if it’s because his dada is a builder and this man was using a drill or what but it’s so embarrassing 😳 🙈😂

Do y’all pick up your babies every time they cry or do yall let them cry it out? My hubby insists that I let the baby cry sometimes so that I can do other things. However, I can’t stand crying and pick him up immediately. What do yall do?

Hi, my toddler barely says any words. He says a few like go, hi, yea, yeah and do . Any advice to get him to say a full sentence and words?

Hi, I have an almost 18 week baby boy who somehow manages to scratch his face all the time. I cut his nails about once a week but even if they don’t feel sharp he still manages to scratch himself. I don’t want to have to keep gloves on him as he’s using his hands a lot for toys and so on. Any advice on what to do?

My almost 17 month old only says one word which is Dada. She has said yeah or hi just once but hasn't said them again in a while. She's been using a lot of I don't know if you'd call it baby talk but it's stuff that doesn't make sense and isn't words. Please tell me someone has gone through this and found a way to g...

My son seems to be going through a stage of slapping at the moment and demanding things is there anything I can try to do to calm that down or do I have to just wait for this to settle down 🤣 because I'm at my wits end, he's 1 year and 8 months
