Do toddlers not learn that jumping off from height will get them hurt? Mine will keep on doing it despite making her aware of dangers, she just doesn’t learn. Is something wrong with her?

It actually makes me very angry she isn’t learning from the first time, even though she was crying the first time round I feel as though she is doing it on purpose despite knowing the consequences even right after the fall she would happily try jumping off again. Has anyone’s toddlers done this? Are they just testin...

The hair pulling 😭

How the heck am I supposed to get my baby to stop trying to rip out chunks of my hair. I tried saying oww loudly and it scares her but she just goes right back to it. I tried slapping her hand just enough to spook her but that’s not working either. Idk what else to do and I’m so sick of it.

7 week old actively avoiding faces?

Looking for some reassurance. Our DS2 is 7 weeks old today. In his 7 weeks, I can't remember a time when he's looked at my face, or anyone elses, not intentionally at least. He's enthralled by our skylight, but will not look anyone in the eyes, and actively turns his head from faces if you try and get him to look ...

My son has absolutely no words. None

He is very social otherwise. We play so many games together, and he often seeks our attention by tapping us to look at him. He understands some things that we say to him, so I can see that he connects words to meanings. But it's like he feels no need to actually speak. He babbles, but that's not it. And even babblin...

Relentless! 😤

Anyone else's little one driving them absolutely crazy at the moment?! I spend my whole day stopping him from doing something silly like spilling water everywhere from his bottle or stopping him from pulling the cats tail or biting his big sister 🤦‍♀️ I play with him, we dance and sing to songs, I take him to the…

Hey beautiful queens, I have a question.

My baby boys (2yr old) toe is hurting, he’s saying it’s his big toe specifically. I have 2 other boys and this is new for me. It’s hurting so bad that he’s kicking his leg and hitting that foot with his other. I’m worried because he doesn’t really act like this! He hasn’t hurt his foot at least to my knowledge I fee...

Anyone worried their kids weird? 😅

We highly suspect he has adhd but he’s constantly talking gobbledygook (even though his speech is good), launching into people and things, just like he’s on speed most of the time. Sometimes he gets full on manic like right now. I get so triggered by it.

How do you respond when someone says your toddler is “SO shy” 😒🙃

So annoyed with comments like these. My 3 year old is highly sensitive, so yes, sometimes she may appear “shy” to others but she’s actually just observing her surroundings first. She comes out of her shell and is very extrovert actually when she’s in the right environment or is on a one on one play date or if she’s ...

Baby hates the sun

My 10 month old hates the sun to the point that if we’re on a walk and it hits her face she’ll cry a lot ? Even in the car ? At home if it’s sunlight coming through window she avoids it is this normal behaviour?

Tantrums

My 17 month old is terrible lately. He is constantly throwing tantrums, and he throws everything. He has even started banging his head on anything from doors, tables, floors and me! It's so embarrassing when we are out, and he does it. I've asked the nursery if he's like it there and they said no. I feel like I'm f...

Baby not laughing

This is a bit silly but my baby who is 6 months on the 29th still doesn’t really laugh. She CAN laugh as she has done it a couple times but rarely does. This is horrible and I hate my self for feeling this way but I see all my mum friends babies laughing at them so much and it makes me feel jealous! I wish my baby l...

Helping talking

Hey everyone, I’m a first time mum and my baby doesn’t really like us reading to him, he never has! He does like the baby touch books and we can get through those, as well as the “that’s not my..”. I also talk to him constantly through the day but I’m worried that him not liking being read to us going to hinder hi...

Groaning

My baby in recent weeks keeps constantly making a groaning noise when she’s awake. It’s ALOT! It’s not wind or boredom but it’s so constant it’s driving me mad! Any idea why and how to make her stop.. she used to always babble and now it’s just this whining, I miss the babbles!

My child is afraid of the vacuum

Now I should start this off by saying we don’t have a conventional vacuum we have a shop vac however it’s not louder than my standard house vac. As a child I was terrified of the vacuum because my sister would torment me and pretend the vacuum was going to eat me. So we’re not off to a good start.😂 I was…

13mo not talking

Hey mamas. I need some advice and words of encouragement. My 13 month old isn’t really talking. Sometimes he tries to copy but for the most part he isn’t interested. He used to babble mama but I don’t know if I would really count it as him talking. He does say dada and good. He tries hard to say dog because we have ...
