Hi Mums! My 5 month old is SO determined to crawl and is getting more and more frustrated and angry every day when she tries and can’t move. I’ve tried to tuck her knees for her to show her and help with shifting weight etc but she gets so angry that she can’t move. Does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with thi...

My 4-month-old has been grabbing his ears and touching/holding his head lately... it seems to be when he's tired... but I don't want to just shrug it off if it could be something else... should I worry about it and talk to his Dr? Or could this be just him exploring his face/head and telling me he's tired?

Lately my 21 month old been having her tantrums, today we went out for a walk in her stroller I took her out for a bit so she can run around when it was time to go I picked her up she tried to throw herself on the floor crying because she didn’t want to leave, she would say no or I don’t want to… she also has 2 of h...

My little guy is almost 5 weeks old and doesn’t startle or respond to loud noise or turn his head to my voice. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be hearing loss? He passed his newborn hearing screening at birth.

Those who have a floor bed, when your babies starts crawling and stuff do they not throw themselves over the barriers?

My little guy just started walking (not super confident) but into everything. He’s all of a sudden SO FUSSY. Just has fits constantly. Feels like frustration. Just wants to go go go and now climbing on everything. Fit upon fit in the mix of the mobility. Sometimes I just wish he could say words although I’m not one ...

My son is quite talkative but mostly still oos and aahs in different orders, sometimes something that resembles mama but only when he's upset lol, anyway both my sisters kids have major speech delays so I think I have some anxiety over whether he in on track how is it going for everyone else?

Anyone else’s child moaning and whining all the live long day. My daughter is in a constant state of moan. Nothing I give her or do makes her happy. Is this just a weird phase? Driving me mad

My toddler (18 month old) has suddenly become really frightened at the park. Doesn’t want to go on swings or the slide. He’ll climb up the ladders on some smaller slides but not go down them, just climbs back down! He does go down on our laps though. Is this a phase? Has anyone had anything similar and come out o...

Anybody having this problem ? My daughter not walking yet and she messing up her knees bad !!? I brought those knee things and she still scraping them and making them dark!?

Anyone else’s baby learnt to make gasping noises and does it continually? She’s making herself cough! I’ve got an owlet and her oxygen is fine, no cough or cold I’m sure she’s doing it on purpose but it’s weird!

Baby can't crawl but does this all the time, sort of sliding himself backward? (He usually doesn't have socks on to try and help him get more grip but we had just been outside.) I'm trying to encourage him to crawl but he just slides around on his belly.

I’m experiencing my son screaming all day everyday but it’s not painful screaming and no tears just screaming. Maybe finding his voice? It gets annoying after awhile. 🙄😂

My little one is 13 months. Should I be worried he doesn’t talk? He babbles and says mama and dada and nana and baba.

My baby has no interest in standing unsupported or trying to walk. Is anyone else’s baby the same? I think because crawling is so quick and easy to him he isn’t bothered about walking 😂

My son can say around 30-40 words. He’s not the most confident talker but his understanding is brilliant and if we head to the farm for example he’s quite happy to name the animals / spots something in a book or if I ask him ‘what’s this?’ But sometimes I notice days where he just babbles and when I ask ‘what’s this...

Does anyone else feel immense pressure when you see posts about how well other babies are doing, and all the skills they have learned? Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy for those mamas and they deserve to be proud of their babies! But I end up feeling so shit about how slowly my baby is coming along.. and I wonder ...

During day times like suddenly not cooing/babbling as much, staring into space more, not laughing or interacting as much? Seems since we’ve been in leap 4 he’s a different baby, much quieter and seems in his own world!

My son has had this bruise for about a week now amd hasn’t really changes. He is adamant he hasn’t knocked it. Has anyone experienced this with their toddler? (He is 4)

Has the two’s come with alot of crying and whining for anyone else ? as a younger child he barely used to cry and whine like this, but it’s all amplified now, more clingier too. I’m guessing it’s because he’s becoming a lot more aware as he grows.
