Ladies I’ll be honest, I’m really not enjoying being a mum. My child melts down+++ - they scream ALL the day. They don’t sleep. They don’t feed well. It’s relentless. How do you stop an uncontrollable baby?

Should I be worried? My 8 month old has absolutely no interest in crawling.. will roll everywhere and slide around on her tummy but she tries to pull herself up and will stand up holding onto sofa by herself her legs are very strong.

At what point would you think there is something wrong? Books/ google/ whatever says babies start saying their 1st word at around 12 months. My boy is 2 next week. Nothing.

My son will be 11 months on the 8th. He still isn’t clapping or really waving. He also has said dada 2 months ago but now does it rarely - he babbles other things but not closer to some of the basic words. He is crawling (fast), pulling himself up to stand, screaming, responding to his name, and showing personal...

My almost 8 month old wiggles and flaps his hands and fingers a lot. Especially if excited or having a tantrum. Is it normal at this age or not?

I know that every baby is different but my 15 month old doctor told me that she’s delayed on speech. My oldest didn’t really start talking until she was almost 2 and same with my 2nd born. She only says about 5 words and the doctor said that she should be at 15 words by now. Should I be worried or no.

I don’t drive much so have only taken him in the car a handful of times, but today we did a 3 hour drive and he screamed for the vast majority. He fell asleep for 40 mins halfway but just cried relentlessly the rest of the time. I tried all sorts- dummy, toys, white noise, leaning over and stroking his face, he just...

My 15 month old yells constantly. It’s her way of communication right now but it turns into screaming. I was told to either ignore the yelling and respond to not yelling but I feel like it just turns into screaming either way. Please tell me I’m not alone, kinda drives me crazy 😂

How many words is your LO saying/trying to say? Other than Mama/Dada

My 2.5 year old seems to have some issues socially? Anytime we’re out and about if people smile at him, or try to interact with him he’ll scream in their face or growl at them. It’s the same if we go to music/sensory classes, with the class leaders who he’s seen multiple times. Any one have anything similar and how ...

Anyone else’s little one feel the urge to stand on absolutely everything 😂

My lo has been screaming a lot when we don’t let her do something she wants (normally because it’s dangerous or will break something). I was just wondering if anyone else’s toddler does this and how do you react? I’ve tried not commenting on it or trying to calm her.

I know I'm certainly worrying too much, but my kid hasn't picked up words for things she asks for daily (easiest example is berries, since she has them at meals and loves them.) Is pointing and whining or grunting for things they want still typical at this age? Do any more experienced parents have an idea when they ...

Unless he's done something really bad I don't agree with it but I guess I'm soft.

Anyone else’s little one going through a slapping phase? I think for my little one it’s the sound he gets out of doing it!

Anyone else experience their toddler hitting their head on the ground purposely during temper tantrum?

My little girl can say a few words- mum, dad, up, more, head, hat, cat, all done, hair, and probably more but I cannot remember. Should I be worried as she still babbling a lot And we read and talk all the time. We give everything name and sing Not sure what else I can be doing at home ?

it finally happened😭❤️‍🩹 my almost 1 year old son started crawling (maybe in his sleep) and i didn’t feel him move and he fell right off the bed. i feel like the worlds worst mom. we taught him to get off the bed feet first so that’s why i think he was asleep while crawling. he was pretty shocked and cried for…

Anyone else? 😂 I feel silly even posting this because no way I would put pressure on her or make her feel like it makes me sad she doesn’t say it. But my husband and I and our families we say “I love you” ALLLL the time to her. She even has a learn to talk book we’ve had forever and she mimics everything the babies…

Hi everyone My 1.5 year old is in the tantrum stage but he also is hitting/slapping/scratching when he’s in that mode and there’s no way of calming him down in that moment. First time I experienced it today and it really made me upset. Today was already a difficult and overwhelming day as it is and on top of that...
