I keep having constant anxiety at the moment about if my son is meeting his milestones etc. He’s been doing fine at his checks with the health visitor but as he’s my first child I’m not sure what to expect for his speech at this age. He currently says about 30 words. What’s your toddlers speech like? 😊

Has anyone else’s 2 year old suddenly started stuttering quite a lot when they didn’t previously? My little girl has always been quite advanced with her speech, but over the last weeks I’ve noticed she’s started to stutter and struggle to get her words out such as ‘I I I I I I I I want a snack’ or ‘Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu ...

So my boy is almost 5 months old and he is constantly rubbing his feet together? Does anyone know what this means or is thier baby doing the same?

Looking for some advise/ reassurance … My little girl is nearly 8 months old, we don’t crawl or sit up, I’ve tried starting her on foods multiple times as she has no interest what so ever have tried all sorts of different foods/textures , sizing etc … she still has no teeth and no sign of them either … I feel like ...

Agghhhhh so my boy is SO desperate to crawl, gets himself into position but always gets a leg stuck then he ends up face planting… I’m all for it but it’s SO frustrating because he is so desperate to get around and I leave for a brief moment to grab a bottle, etc and BAM he’s upset because he’s splat on his face. I ...

Weird one. Have a listen to my daughter laughing, she laughs and does like an inward noise which scares me everytime! Family all say it’s normal and she’s fine but I can’t help but worry she can’t like breathe!! Anyone else got any reassurance pls be honest 😂🩷

I have a friend who has a 2.5 year old boy who regularly rolls his eyes…sometimes back to back. They literally go up in his head. Is this normal? She claims it is his “attitude” and won’t get it checked but it’s sort of scary looking. When I googled I saw autism or seizures as an option. He also developmentally regr...

Mine can’t therefore wondering how worried I should be

Does your child nod their head/ say yes or shake their head no to questions yet?

My son turned 2 in February and since then he’s become so physical with his hands, smacking and throwing hard toys at me, his dad and sister. He has always been kind and soft but since he’s moved rooms in nursery from baby room to toddler he’s become so frustrated with everything. Any tips advice welcome because I’m...

He still isn't talking. So much babbling all day. The only thing he says is "Ga" which means dog to him. He also says "moo" when we ask what does a cow say. Other than that - nothing. Just babbling. He's just turned 15 months. He understands SO much. Not just simple things like "look at that". But I will say...

My baby isn’t interested in story books at all! He likes the touchy feel books and sometimes lets me read them. A lot of the time I’m just reading at him whilst he doesn’t something else.. I’m not sure how to get him interested in listening to the stories. Is this quite common for their age (he’s almost 11 months...

I’m starting to get worried about my little girl , she has always been a fussy baby needed to be bounced or dosent like cuddles since she was small. She was never a really big milk drinker and everyone kept saying oh she’ll devour food the first month or 2 was fine she’d try different foods and let me feed her now s...

So my baby was crawling normally for about a week for the first time, so not very long! But now they’re walking on all fours and stopped crawling? They look like a monkey 😂😂😂 what does this mean developmentally?

So my LG's new favourite thing to do is roll over during a nappy change & try to stand up nappyless and dance. 🤣 It's absolutely adorable, but it's hard work to get a nappy on her when she does this. I spent 15 minutes trying yesterday at one point & wanted to give up (but I also don't want pee on my furnishings 😅)…

My 10 month old started scratching everything at 6 months and just hasn’t stopped. Is this normal?

How are you all tracking milestones? At my daughters one month appt I asked her about tummy time- which we were already doing- & she said not to start tummy time yet. Literally EVERYONE told me to start tummy time after one week. Is there a list somewhere or some reliable information out there in regards to mileston...

My girl is having tantrums at 9 months and I did not expect it this early. I’m not sure the best way to handle it she does it when I move her if she’s not playing somewhere safe or during diaper changes and cloth changes because she has always hated it. I think I should ignore her but I’m not sure. It’s just hard wh...
