When did your little start doing arts and crafts?

My daughter is 19 months and will scribble around with a crayon bite quickly moves on or just tries to bite it and bang it around. I tried water painting just a brush and water and she just wanted to dump the water or bash her brush in the cup causing it to splash. When did yours actually start to do arts and crafts?? We know a girl who is a couple weeks older than her and she loves drawing. I don’t get it!

Just a phase?

Hi mamas I’ve tried searching for this topic before making this post & I’m out of luck. My son just turned 11 months & since birth he’s loved baths & now all of a sudden he reaches to be picked up & screams his head off..? Not sure why, he’s never slipped or fell, water has never been too hot or too cold.. I’ve tried feeding before hand, tried adding more interesting toys!! I feel defeated!

21 month old behaviour

A 21 month old picks up two handfuls of sand and throws in it a baby’s (7 month old) face. Upon this happening, an adult said “*name of child*, no thank you” in a firm manner. The child then smirked at the adult.

Is a 21 month old expected to know this is unkind behaviour? Was he being totally innocent and actually trying to show some form of play/affection? Somebody please explain.

Should I still be tracking?

My boy will be 1m old tomorrow and I stopped tracking feeds, diapers, etc. around 2 weeks old because it made me more anxious and I knew my supply was good+I just feed on demand. Now though I’m seeing moms still tracking at this age and beyond. Should I still be tracking too? Is this 2nd child syndrome? Are you all still tracking? Help pls 😅😂

Any Nappy changing hacks?

Since he’s been crawling he rolls and crawls around with no nappy. We use pull ups but he’s so mobile getting him to stay still is very tricky!

Hitting / pushing other kids

Nursery have told us today our little boy has started hitting and pushing other kids. I’ve also noticed the last week with me he has started tantruming a lot more and pulling my hair / kicking.

I’m of course absolutely mortified and embarrassed. I’m trying my best to use things to distract him to stop him doing it 😩

Does anyone have any tips or are going through the same thing? X

Anyone's 5 month old just shouting 24/7?

Not sure if its boredom, teething or shes adjusting to purees as she is closer to 6 months so slowly started to wean. Didn't know if it was just a found my voice phase.

Behaviour is just getting extreme.

Hi guys, so my son is 3 in August. He is honestly getting so exhausting, he's so naughty when hes at home. Doesn't listen to mummy or Daddy, absolute nightmare at bed time. Won't let me get him changed, just daddy and then if I start trying to change him he starts hitting. He's just tried to bend his safety rail tonight. Please tell me someone else's is like this 😫

Babbling but still no mama 😢

My little girl babbles constantly but has yet to say ‘mama’. We get a lot of dadas, babas and yayas but nothing near an ‘m’ sound! Also she definitely knows dada is Daddy but doesn’t call me anything at all even though we make sure to call me mama in front of her! Anyone else experiencing the same?!

Obsessed with hands

Is anyone else’s LOs obsessed with their hands?! My daughter is constantly sucking on her hands and sometimes will try to put her whole fist in. She also has a dummy and is getting frustrated as I think she also wants to suck her hands at the same time but then knocks the dummy out… anyone else in the same boat? And are you cleaning hands regularly?!
