My 2year old son started acting up . When the baby is trying to sleep . I say no he doesn’t listen. So I had to spank him. I felt bad. But that just made cry more . I hope I am not a bad mom. It kind made me sad that I did this .

Anybody else’s baby have laryngomalacia /baby makes a high pitched noise when breathing in ? When do babies grow out of this and how common is it?

were there signs just before your baby crawled, and did you do anything to help or encourage it? did it just happen one day? my girl is 9 months tomorrow and has been sitting up and rolling around for a few months now and seems to be trying to get into crawling position but her leg gets stuck and she gets upset. Or...

Hi ladies, My baby talks, says short sentences like "I love pizza" and "I want juice." But she doesn't quite answer questions like "Did you poop?" She will repeat what I say in her toddler way. How can I help her answer questions? She's not in daycare yet, will be soon! Thank you

Hi guys, i just want to get a good understanding of where my baby should be development wise right now. my family keeps telling me he is behind and delayed & now it’s starting to get me. i feel like i am not doing enough to encourage his gross motor skills and also cognitive Right now my baby is - just now starti...

I’ve been at it before he was 6 months and now he’s 9 months and he’s finallllly sorta trying to use one sign…maybe? It’s really hard to tell! Cause I know he can’t do them “right” but in his own way. He usually just slaps his table or anything and makes noises to communicate so I’ve been upping the practice and h...

How can a dad go multiple days without talking to or calling his kids even if they send voice text to him😡

My baby girl started giggling around 2months, not laughter but little giggles. Recently as she’s started babbling and rolling she just will not giggle anymore 😭 is this a regression?? Is anyone else’s baby doing this? I miss her little giggles she used to be such a happy baby and she smiles and stuff now but it’s…

mama's i need some reassurance. this may be a long post so please bear with me and give me some advice or your experience with speech therapy. my 2 year old is little behind on her speech and was evaluated by early intervention and today was her first therapy appointment which she came to my house and let me know wh...

My little one is almost 11 months old and no signs of crawling or holding furniture and pulling up. She shuffles on her bottom everywhere either laying down or sat up! She also struggles to bear weight on her legs. Should I be concerned? :(

Arghhh - I was determined not to worry so the my second… but here we are 🙃 He’s just turned 1 (2nd October), and physically wise he’s doing great. He’s walking unaided, he crawls (not so much now he walks), can climb and is generally good in that way. But his communication seems behind. He doesn’t seem to…

My little one will randomly shake/grunt out of excitement and also frustration. Like he will clench his fits and his jaw and make this sound whilst shaking, usually only when he’s excited or angry lol. Is this normal? I’m panicking about autism and all sorts so early as I heard that’s a thing that they do. But he’s ...

My little girl has just turned 10 months and has finally mastered crawling on all fours just today 🎉 I wasn’t particularly bothered, she can sit, pull to stand, roll or army crawl around and get into sitting position from lying down but the HV said at her 9 month review last week this is ‘late’ crawling 🤷🏻‍♀️…

Anyone else possibly experiencing speech delay with there 31 month old?

My 14 month old has started taking steps unaided. He can take about 5/6 steps before he falls. How long did it take for your little ones to fully walk after taking their first steps?

So I’ve never been one to worry about this necessarily as think all babies do things in their own time but I am now getting comments about how my son isn’t walking (will walk while holding my one hand but nowhere near ready on his own), comments that he isn’t talking (he babbles constantly and has copied a couple wo...

Is there any mom here whose child has not yet started to speak? Mine is only said "mama" . He doesn't imitate sounds, e.g. like a cat - meow. Everyone tells me to wait until the check up for a two-year-old.

My 18 month old started throwing tantrums for the TV, the other night she screamed for 40 minutes because we wouldn't put on her favorite show. Would that cause speech delay? She's not talking much maybe like 10-20 words..

Ok so my toddler found out what ghosts were via backyardigans. Fast foward a few weeks and every time we are in his room he looks at the corner behind his door and says “do you see the ghost?” Or “look at that ghost” or “oh hi ghost”. Anybody else’s toddler do this or should I be slightly concerned 😅

Anyone else little one not crawling? My LO will be 11 months next week and has no interest in crawling, feel like I am doing something wrong - or does anyone have any tips on how to get him crawling?
