Development

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☹️

Baby toys

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🫠

Shy Toddler

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...

How do I help my baby crawl?

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...

Tilting head when look at light or sometimes a book on the floor?

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...

Screaming/Crying

My little boy is 9 months old and the constant upset is really getting to me and becoming a genuine concern. He can go from laughing and smiling to being inconsolable in 0.2 seconds. I usually put it down to him being tired but he will not nap during the day without a meltdown beforehand and it’s making every day ...

Baby not walking/standing

My baby was quite a slow crawler and has only recently become confident with it, she’s not even standing on her own yet. Is this something to be worried about? All the children in her room on nursery can walk and I worry about her just not joining in🥹

Does your kid throw uncontrollable tantrums that lasts over 30 minutes?

My daughter has always been feisty. She has been throwing tantrums since she 1. But lately her tantrums are sooooo bad lasting 30-60min. Her tantrums are usually about the smallest things and nothing i try seems to help. I know all kids throw tantrums. Im starting to wonder if this is normal behavior or not.

Cry it out

Do you think it’s okay to let a 4 month old cry it out?? My boyfriend lets our 4 month old baby cry it out because he doesn’t know how to soothe her. I hate it so freaking much. It’s usually when I’m busy doing stuff around the house and he’s watching her.

Son calls me "ba" instead of "ma"

Does anyone else's child call them something other than the typical mom, mama, mommy and you don't know why? He's 14months and when we talk about names and I point to him and say his name he giggles or point to his dad and say "dada" he repeats it but when I point to myself and say "mama" he says no shakes his head ...

ADHD or something else?

Does anyone have a child who head bangs in reaction to feeling angry or frustrated or even tired? I find my toddler is very bad at trying to regulate emotions and constantly hurts himself on purpose by head banging hard flooring (inside or outside). It will be a year of this happening from November and I feel like...

Does your 3year old walk everywhere now or still use a buggy?

Noisy Baby🤯😆❤️

Has anyone else's baby started being so noisy!? He's been like this the last few days and especially at bedtime, showing off what he can do at the top of his lungs🤣. My first boy was pretty quiet until 6 months but this boy has definitely found his voice at 4 months!😅
