10 week old not interested in toys?

My LO is smiling and cooing at us, grabbing/gripping clothes, hair etc. but is totally uninterested in brightly coloured toys, rattles etc. She can definitely see and hear as she’ll turn towards sounds, stare at contrast cards and track faces/her moving mobile beautifully, just doesn’t seem ready to ‘play’. Anyone e...

Everything is no and the opposite

Anyone else drained from it? Everything we say to do is ‘no’ and every time we ask him to do something it’s ‘no’ or we’ve done it wrong. Its constant tantrums.

Should I seek a professional?

So my lg has always struggled to eat well I think. Before when Ive tried to feed her she would refuse but recently I am able to feed her and she’ll take it just fine but it can take up to hours to finish one single meal, it consumes my whole day tbh. She has to have the TV on or we’d be playing in the play pen in or...
