Febrile seizure

My son (22 months) had his first febrile seizure yesterday at nursery. The staff were amazing and called an ambulance straight away and thankfully I was only 2 minutes round the corner. I just wondered if anyone else’s little one had experienced one of these before and if you’ve ever had a repeat seizure?

14month review

I’ve had a 14 month review come through similar to the 12 month one, but to be done as a phone call. But near on all of the things in the questionnaire, little one can’t do.

Scared to walk?

My baby is going to be 1 next week! AHHH. Anyway, I think she could walk if she wanted to, she will hold on to my pant leg or shirt with the lightest little touch and walk, like she really isn’t holding on to anything. But if I am holding her hands and let go, she immediately looks at me, scared, and grabs my hand. ...

Does any one else’s baby (8m) carry around emotional support socks?

Sometimes he will put them in his mouth and crawl around like a dog😭 we don’t have any animals… I think he stashes them too because i will clean up the whole living room and boom he’s found a sock.
