Clapping or waving

My little girl is 8.5 months old she’s crawling pulling herself up to stand. She hasn’t waved or clapped hands yet I do it daily with her to see will she do it for me but she hasn’t yet. Is everyone else’s baby doing it yet ?

Screen time issues

My almost 1 year old has been starting to freak out during screen time. She will stand on the tv stand and cry at the tv so we cut out her usual shows (blues clues being the main one) she adores blues clues but I don’t know if it’s overstimulating her or what. Has anyone else had this problem?

17months not standing

My 17mo son still doesn’t stand. I spoke to the HV when he was 10mo but they don’t refer for physio until 18mo. It’s not the walking it’s the fact he is still not standing that’s the problem. Anyone had this with their child? What helped? We’ve never used walkers or jumperoos either x

How do I get my baby use to noise?

My 11 month old is quite jumpy and doesn’t like to be in loud environments or gets unsettled in a room with lots of people/noise. Any tips on how I can get her to overcome this anxious feeling?

When did your little one stop chatting/singing themselves to sleep?

I love hearing my son (23 months) chat and sing to himself as he’s going to sleep. We hear him from downstairs and on the monitor. When does this stop? I have to brace myself. It’s the sweetest and cutest thing I could ever imagine. 🥹

10 month old not walking

So I know all babies have their own timeline but my baby is almost 11 months old and she’s not crawling yet nor showing signs of walking. She does roll everywhere and loves to stand but doesn’t pull herself up without assistance. Should I be worried or just let her be?

Tantrums? Mood swings? Dare I say “terrible twos”!?

Anyone else’s little one all of the sudden very emotional, vocal, mood swing-y? My son has turned a new leaf and is very vocal about his likes and dislikes. Throws mini tantrums if he doesn’t get something exactly as he wants. Not unusual for his developmental age, but are others experiencing it? How are we handlin...

Baby behaviour

My little one is 5 months old and generally a happy baby. However, over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that he cries whenever someone else, like my friends or neighbors, tries to hold him or talk to him. He goes to baby classes and does fine there, but this behavior of not wanting anyone else to hold him has me co...

Anyone else with a toddler miss their baby?

I feel so bad for feeling this way because I do love my toddler more than anything. But I can’t help but miss my baby. The one that always smiled at me whilst nursing. The one that giggled at almost everything I did, never had tantrums, never hit/ kicked screamed for the smallest things. The long coffee mornings wh...

Viral Toys

I fell into the hype and my 5 month old is not impressed one bit lol. So she now has the dancing cactus and crawling crab, I’m sure some moms have seen videos. She’s almost six months so I wanted to introduce a new style of toy, for some reason I thought she would enjoy it. She has a calm demeanor but lately she’s b...

Is it normal?

My baby has throwing his head back, like hard enough to throw his whole body back and hit the floor, whenever he gets upset. Like when I tell him no. And then since he hit his head he starts bawling. Is this normal? If so any way to get him to stop doing it?

5 started fake laughing

Please tell me this will pass, my 5 y.o. started fake laughing and it's driving me crazy with how grating it is! I haven't told her she can't because theres no harm, but internally it's like nails on a chalk board. I just wish she'd go back to her real laugh, that's what I want to hear because it's just her
