Crawling - or lack of!

My May baby isn’t crawling yet, I haven’t been too worried but they’re just shy of 11 months now and has been on the cusp for what feels like months! Any advice on how to encourage it? Tummy time was always a challenge until 1-2 months ago (I think reflux played a part in this) and we’ve tried toys out of reach, ...

My daughter tends to have more anxiety, sensory seeking elevates, she stops using her words to communicate and will just grunt, she won’t get anything for herself only points to what she wants, and her eye...

Did you help your baby to crawl?

Is your baby crawling yet, if yes, did you help your baby or they did it themselves? My baby lifts her bum but isn’t crawling. Any suggestions/ toy recommendations are welcome

Disciplining

How are you responding when you’re kids repeatedly act out? Yes, i know it’s mostly age appropriate and testing boundaries, but I am so tired of raising my voice for my little to listen. Literally, nothing works but that and I don’t like it. Please offer any advice! TYSM!!

Would you say he has autism/adhd?

my stepson is 9 years old. he’s always been hard to deal with as long as I’ve known him since a baby. he has tantrums and meltdowns which can last ages. Half of the time he doesn’t understand why you’ve said “don’t do that”. he won’t stop and just carry on doing it. Basically won’t listen to simple instructions. ...

Outdoor toddler

My toddler just wants to be outside all the time. Whenever we get home from a walk, he gets so upset. Even if we have him walk to the park, run round and then walk back the long way, he’s still not done with being outside and this can after he’s walked a 1 or 2 miles without all the running about on the park. Is ...

Is your baby still not crawling or pulling themselves up?

As the title says… we turned 1 last week and we still only bum shuffle and only pulling up if he has our hands. He did not figure out yet how to pull himself up using objects (not that he is trying much). He does walk if we hold his hands and in his pre-walker as well… but that’s it. I know all babies have their ow...

Dealing with meltdowns

How is everyone dealing with them if they’re seeing them? Our little boy does not like transitions/stopping what he’s doing/not being able to do something he’s asked for. Since 2.30 he’s had a meltdown because I didn’t play him a video on my phone (just the Bluey themesong as he’s obsessed with music but want to st...

New milestone unlocked

Though I am proud of his awesome gross motor skills, I am just as nervous of him hurting himself! He fell a few times but yet still determined to keep standing up 😂 (such a boy) It’s like if I leave him for so long he will find a way to stand up somehow. So, I decided to put him in the crib and this is what he…
