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

My first didn’t start crawling until 9/10 months so thought I had a few more months to baby proof. 6.5 months and he’s decided he’s off 🙃😂😭

My 4 month old has started screeching! She’s really going for it.. all day! I don’t know why she’s screaming, is she just finding her voice and loving that she can be so loud? Or teething? I don’t think its pain, she isnt crying but also doesn’t look happy when she does it. Honestly its hard to listen to all day, fe...

My toddler has been biting his nails nearly everyday, not aggressively, but its clearly happening. Have you been through this? What worked for you?

So...I just picked up my son from nursery and his nanny told me that when is story time and kids are singing or making loud noise, he covers his ears, something that he does not do at home. His speech and communication is great. Should I be worried?

Anyone in the same boat? My little girl is 22 months old and she says a few words but not 2 words together or her name yet. I’m starting to get worried as nursery says she should be doing this by now? What can I do?

She’s always been well behaved but in the last couple of weeks it’s tears and mini tantrums about literally everything, her yoghurt pot falling over, her sticker no sticking, you name it! What the hell is going on 😩

I've heard of this being a sign of autism but could it also just be a developmental thing? He doesn't have any other signs of autism besides maybe flapping his arms when he's excited but I've seen loads of babies do that. Tbh I'm pretty impressed at how well he can line things up. He loves to line up all his stacki...

My LO is 7 months now and isn’t showing any signs of crawling. I’m trying to do as much tummy time and he will do but he will just roll away and keep rolling 😅. Should I be worried? He can’t sit himself up either but can sit independently no problem if you sit him down. I’m just worried I’m not doing enough to…

So my daughter turn 1 on the 9th she is starting to throw a fit, I don't know what to do she just crys and screams until she gets her way and I dont give in but her dad sure does

My 8 month old just stood up by himself but doesn’t crawl just wondering can he miss crawling and go straight walking 🚶‍♀️ 🤷🏽‍♀️

I swear my girl is constantly running and falling or hitting her head. I feel so bad but I can’t control every bump, fall or bonk.

I’m a first time mom and my son turns 19 months tomorrow, the only word he says is mama and he rarely says that…. He just makes noises and squeals and screams and still makes baby noises. It worries me because he will be 2 in march and doesn’t speak a sentence, should I be worried?

I can FEEL the gentle parenting leave my body. I want to scream at her so badly, my parents would NEVER let us get away with this shit but I’m trying hard to break the cycle of yell/scream/scare your kids to get them to behave. I need help!!!!!

My 11 week old loves sucking on his hands/fingers. He’s fallen asleep a few times sucking on his finger and he gets frustrated when he can’t suck on them properly. I feel like he’s trying to self soothe like this especially at night. How can I help him self soothe successfully?

My dog is not careful where he steps and never has been! For instance when we’re laying in bed we let him sleep with his and he’ll walk all over the place getting comfortable and often steps on us. I’m getting more concerned cuz I don’t know how to get him to stop! I’ve corrected the behavior in the moment since he ...

Anyone elses baby not crawling yet? Mine was 10 months on the 6th October and his still not crawling. I know all babies do things in their own time but all his baby friends are crawling who are similar ages and younger.

Anyone else's little one have an absolute meltdown whenever you are in the kitchen??
