My LO is 13 weeks today and I know it's still too early for crawling but I was wondering what space I should set up for her for when the time comes. How big a space do they need? I have wooden floors and she currently has the mamas and papas little playmat that sits on top of foam puzzles. Do you recommend a play pe...

Why do babies so this

So she’s been doing this for the past few days. I know she’s happy but this is new to me. FTM. Is this just her learning her voice? You can tell she’s a happy baby.

Autistic signs?

I'm asking for family. I feel like their child might be autistic. They aren't the greatest parents and would be oblivious to it. There's a couple things I've noticed but wanted to know others experience before talking to them and worrying them for no reason. For one, he is 16 months old and not independently walking...

Temper tantrums

Please tell me I’m not the only one whose baby hits, pulls hair, head butts when frustrated or mad. He will scream, cry and try to hurt me when he’s upset. Sometimes even hits when excited. When he’s excited and doing it I try to redirect it to a high five. When sad I usually just hold down the affecting hand and sa...

6 month old pulling up to stand?!

Need advice or is anyone else dealing with this? My son turned 6 months at the end of April and is literally pulling himself up to stand on anything he can. My daughter didn't do this until 9 or 10 months. Is this really something some kids do this early?

"No" to everything!

My toddler says no to everything. Even changing diaper or wearing clothes or eating or brushing teeth. It takes the life out of me trying to convince her. It's exhausting. Does this stage go away? I honestly dread being alone with her all day. It started about 3 months back. I'm waiting for this stage to pass.

My toddler cries at cat videos LOL

My daughter who is a little over 1 has always cried when she sees a video or a movie with cats and if it has music with it whether it’s a happy or sad one. Like why?? lol I just find it so interesting that she may just have such a connection to find them beautiful or something. 😂 I’m truly so curious why this…

Am I a bad mom help!

My toddler has been insane lately, not listening at all, laughing if I try to discipline him, throws things, hits his sister etc. Am I failing as a mom or is this “normal” behavior for a 3 1/2 year old boy? He’s so active and wild and sweet most of the time but when he turns it up I feel like I’m the worst mother or...

How are people handling tantrums?

My girl can throw a good one! How are people going about dealing with them? I’m not sure if I’m doing the right thing - we distract, redirect. She will also pinch and sometimes bite when another takes her toy or she can’t articulate what she’s wanting. I’m so fucking tired of the whining and body throwing 😬 I get…

Worried mum!

Please I need help. I’m making myself ill with the worry. My son is 22 months old. Doesn’t talk, just shouts when he wants something. He points and will take us to where he wants us to get something from. I’ve tried everything with him and he just isn’t talking yet. He will babble and say the obvious ‘mama’ and ‘dad...
