My baby boy is 4 weeks and starting to make cooing sounds and also starting to smile at me... it's bittersweet and so cute lol are y'all babies doing the same?

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 🤔

How are ya'll dealing with tantrums and fake crying?

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.

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…

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...

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?

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

My son who is 3 days from being 5 months has started become clingy and screams/ shriek at the top of his lungs out of excitement and then start crying in the same breath! I’m not sure if this is normal or not but should I be worried?

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…

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. We’re not into soft parenting but were not extremely hard on them either. I’m looking for suggestions on how to help her regulate he...

My 2 year old son refuses to have his nails clipped. He has tantrums, what is everyone else doing to manage this!? Do it when they sleep? So exhausting

My lb is 2 next week and still barely any speech it’s becoming very concerning he can understand us he copies actions that people do like at the music group he goes to he copies the teacher with certain moves he will go get his shoes when asked etc but he just won’t talk ! He says muma and dada and nana but not ofte...

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 😩

Has anyone with a small age gap had issues with older sibling being consistently agressive towards baby? I have a 2 year 5 month old and a 9 month old (20 month gap). Recently toddler has started pushing the baby over, hitting her and scratching her. She goes to nursery three days a week and they have said they neve...

Why do our toddlers resist everything? Food, potty, changing nappies, changing clothing, washing face EVERYTHING. Planned to leave the house today at 10am. It’s now 12:30pm and she’s having her 5th meltdown of the day. I’m now not even fucked to go out anymore. I have anxiety every-time we have to leave somewhere a...

He babbles but that’s about it

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...

My daughter is 2 and has been diagnosed with developmental delays. Has any other mumma’s little ones been diagnosed with this & how do you cope? Thanks mumma’s x

My 8 month old isn't crawling yet, or showing any signs. He can just about sit up on his own. Should I be worried?
