The last week or so my 23 week old has started hitting his bottle with his left hand repeatedly…he did it a little bit on his chest too this morning. Anyone experiencing the same? It looks fairly involuntary 🤔

Need advice! My son is almost 3 and he has been screaming a lot and doesn’t want to listen. I grew up with my mom yelling and spanking. Me and my siblings were afraid of her. I hate yelling and I don’t want to spank my son.

Talking to him in a calm voice sometimes does not work. My mom says my kid doesn’t have structure. Me and my siblings were seen as having structure bc she whooped us all time or pinched the crap out of us. P.s please do not leave negative comments.

Baby crying

My little boy just knows how to get my attention 😭 I feel like he’s weaponising his cries… as he as soon as he cries I’ll cuddle / comfort him straight away. I’m bringing this up because I worked yesterday for the first time, baby stayed with his grandparents and they had a time! Apparently he was very well behaved…

WORDS!! TIA 🥹

How many words are your babies saying?? I'm scared my son isn't saying enough words he kind of just babbles but says things like "papa" or "dada" sometimes he'll say "ma" or he'll point at a ball and say "ba" but that's about it for now he does make a shushing sound and "f" sounds I'm wondering if that means I may n...

Funny toddler moments 👇

Do you constantly feel like your sole purpose is to keep your toddlers alive? My 3 year old picked up dog poop let me know that it is in fact poop then decided to run away from me saying my poop. 🤦🏻‍♀️ do you feel like this?

LO doesn’t say words

My little boy will be 15 months next week, at 7 months he said “yeah” and “dada” he hasn’t said anything since. He does babble away - was thinking should I contact HV? I thought by now he should be able to say mama, dog or ball etc

Tantrums?!

Is it just my child that has started having really bad tantrums over absolutely everything? Like proper chuck himself on the floor, crying, screaming tantrums. And god forbid I put him in the pushchair or car seat, he just becomes a dead weight and he’s a heavy boy on the 99th centile so my back is feeling…

Autistic daughter

My daughter (7 years old) is very emotional and cry’s often over little things and I know this is a common autistic trait. We are trying to prepare our kids for life in the real world.

Toddler obsessed with his bits

In the bath he is constantly trying to mess with them and the only advice my mum had was that she told my older brother it’ll fall off, but he’s only 21 months so that doesn’t work well at the moment. I don’t know how to stop him 😩

Does anyone else have a very bossy/confidence 2 year old toddler?

My toddler is an only child and I’ve been told that her being an only child will mean she will struggle to be around other children and not be very social but my toddler is completely the opposite of the stereotypical of only child stuff I’ve heard. She would walk into a room with other children and quickly make fr...
