What is your baby’s favourite toy? My baby loves kick and play piano but she gets bored with other toys easily. She hates tummy time as well. So the tummy time toys are not very helpful for us. I feel so awkward with her sometimes as I’m not very good at baby talks. Just wondering if you can give me some toy ideas s...

My son is very talkative and usually this is fine but at bedtime tonight he said soooo many weird things. He wants to be in my tummy again and wants to be smaller. He wants to eat his cousins (this is the bit worrying me the most!) He wants his birthday presents to go back to the shop (he was very polite at hi...

I have a question about my son’s development. He is 12 months, and I think he’s behind developmentally. I know he’s still little and things can turn around quickly. But he doesn’t know any gestures no matter how hard I try. He can just about clap ( in his own funny way, he can’t actually do it properly but will do ...

Hello friends! I was just reaching out with a question for my nurse mamas. My son’s HC to length ratio is off due to his head being large for his length and I was wondering if that could be a sign of dwarfism? His PT didnt say it was concerning at our visit but called his doctor today and told her it was. HC 95% le...

I have observed my little girl started to fight and throw herself out more from 2 weeks for almost everything when she is slightly upset. That’s her new way of saying no and sometimes cry shivering and try to slip out of my hands. I was scared today when she resisted to bath. Usually she loves bath times and enjoy...

I poked my 18 month old toddler in the eye on accident with my nails, and it made a squishy sound… idk if i should be worried?

My LO is 8.5 months old and this is how he crawls atm I find it so amusing! 😂 Anyone’s baby also doing this? I don’t intervene or teach him any other way, just thought he should explore in his own style 🥹

My daughter will be 4 months on the 17th June, however we’re still waiting to hear her sweet giggles, I know babies develop at different times and will do things when they’re ready but she’s been smiling since she was 5/6 weeks and is so close to a proper giggle we just can’t find anything to make her giggle fully, ...

Are any July babies laughing/chuckling yet? My July 1st girl is ALWAYS smiling and seems like she may be trying to laugh but hasn’t quite figured it out yet.

My LO still hasn’t said dada or mama. We get the occasional gaga but it’s mostly ooohs and aaaahs and shouts! I feel so worried!

My LO has just started nursery, and all the times I’ve gone to pick her up she screams and gettings really upset about leaving with me!! She does this sometimes when she goes to her grandmothers too, it makes me feel so rubbish does anyone else have this 😭 Is there anything I can do to make her more excited to see me…

Anyone else’s baby going through a phase of whinging and whining all day? He can’t be put down at all and immediately starts. I just want to scream 😭

Is anyone else’s baby not making many sounds? My 15 month old is only just saying mama when he is wants something. All my friends babys seem to be copying words and animal sounds and starting to get worried.

My 13 month old keeps smacking her head with her hand, I assumed it was her teeth bothering her but just wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this in their LO?

My boy turns 1 on Saturday and he says yeah, mum, dada, but like nothing else really he just makes noises really and babbles, I have spoken to others who have said their kids can say loads by this point, I’m worried that he should be saying more proper words

What is everyone’s 14 month old doing in terms of them development. I know every child develops at their own pace but I feel like my son is slightly behind. He used to be able to say a few words and now won’t even say mama or dada anymore☹️

What toys do your young babies love?? My baby is 4 months and isn’t taking any notice in the talking toys and I feel guilty she hasn’t got any toys she loves apart from one sensory book🤣 she can’t sit unaided so the chairs with play mats aren’t any good either, im at a bit of a loss🫠

So yesterday we went to a family member’s birthday party and as soon as we got there and were greeted by my brother in law, my DS immediately goes into his shy mode closing his eyes and makes a funny face. Then once we were inside there was quite a few people already there (no-one we knew) and I noticed he wasn’t c...

My 9 month old still won’t crawl, she’s 10 months in a couple weeks. I really don’t want her to be behind & I can see she wants to & gets frustrated when on her belly but just can’t seem to bring herself onto her knees. I’ve even tried putting her on her knees and hands but she just flops down and can’t seem to take...

Has anyone noticed their LO do this? Sometimes a book or alphabet chart will be on the floor my LO will be standing over it and will tilt his head and look at it. I wonder sometimes why does he tilt his head a look at it lol. Is he just being weird (as toddlers can be) or is he just looking at it from another angle...
