Crawling

Anyone else’s baby not interested in crawling yet? My LO isn’t even going up onto all fours yet. Is there a way to encourage this?

Polite rant about people moaning about their baby not walking or standing yet!!

Can I just remind you that on average, the typical baby starts walking at 14 months!! I’ve seen several posts about people being worried about their October 2023 babies not walking yet! I’m sure your baby will be soon, they haven’t even got to the average age yet. Stop comparing, it’s not fair on yourself or on y...

Does you child respond to their name and/or say mama/dada?

Baby is coming up to 10 months and she is able to pull to stand, walk supported etc. but doesn’t respond to her name when called and doesn’t say mama or dada. She has said mama a couple times but not often or recently! Don’t know whether to be worried at this stage

17 month old not talking?

My 17 month old boy is not saying any words. He will scream, babble and roar but no interest in copying words. He can walk, climb, run, clap. Has good fine motor skills Should I be concerned ?

my baby’s cry changed overnight, is this possible?

Last night she started making a different cry to the usual one that mean I’m hungry. It sounded more like proper yells compared to that new born, high pitch screech. Which of course left me really confused what was wrong. But it was like she could hear it in herself that she was making a different sound and she kep...

Are your toddlers still babbling in between using actual words?

My little girl is nearly 25 months. She knows plenty of words and making first sentences like “bear eat” etc…but she will also do really long “babbles” as if she’s having a full conversation with me maybe throwing in a couple of actual words? Just wondered if anyone else’s little one does this?

11mo will only army crawl (even though he can four point crawl)

So, little man has been army crawling for months now. He is able to four point crawl, but after a meter or two he stops and sits before continuing to army crawl, or he just drops immediately to his tummy and army crawls. I think it's because he is much faster army crawling and it's easier for him. I've tried ever...

Delays?

There are quite a few things with my LG I feel aren't quite as advanced as some of her peers. She is still very much a baby in my eyes so I havent pushed things. Ie. She still breastfeeds, bed shares, and isn't potty trained (she is just at the point of starting to say when she needs a nappy change). In many ways sh...
