My little boy is almost 4 months old and still slumps his head forward when sat up, is this normal? During tummy time he lifts his head up for about a minute or so, that’s about it

My 10 month old has recently started loving to lay on the floor he’ll crawl then just drop to the floor and laugh or he’ll randomly just lay on the floor for like 2 min then get up and go about his day he occasionally does it and he’s fine he’s aware alert he just thinks it’s funny it makes me very much nervous 😂

Our little girl just had her 2 year review with HV and has come back as under performing in communication due to her lack of speech. She’s been referred for potentially needing speech and language therapy, has anybody else had this? I feel like such a bad mum 😞

Hi is anyone else baby not crawling or pulling to stand yet?? We had our 10-12 month check with the HV and she’s not concerned (neither am I) but just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. My baby will sit up so well for ages and plays happily. He’ll reach for something but will fall if it’s out of reach, st...

My 13 month old decided to start trying to open doors 🥲 anything I can get to baby proof 🤣 thought would have more time

More curious than anything, obviously all babies are different 😊

Hello everyone. My little boy is 9 and a half months old and not meeting the 9 month old milestones. He isn’t crawling or walking or pulling himself up etc.. is this normal for boys?

I know they're only 3, and my son does have a history of just blurting things out, but recently he's said a few things that have been very hurtful and rude. He has a key worker at nursery/preschool who is deaf and the other day my son was refusing to get in the car one morning. He said "I don't want to go to prescho...

My baby boy has just turned 8 months and absolutely hates being on his tummy. I do short bursts per day and he is sitting unassisted but will not attempt to crawl can roll both ways and bare weight on his legs but will not entertain pulling up etc. Should I be worried?

My LG (8.5 but 7.5 months corrected) still is yet to babble. She blows raspberries makes lots of ‘ohhh’ and ‘ahhh’ sounds as well as screaming but not a single ‘ba’ ‘da’ ‘ma’ sound at all! Should I be worried about it?

Anyone else only let their baby crawl/play in a particular room? I have tile in the main areas of the house and I hate that my dogs make the floors dirty so I don’t want baby crawling around on that… I’m terrified she’ll tip over and smack her head on the tile and just ew about putting her little hands where the dog...

My youngest son watched ms Rachel for the first time the other day and my eldest born in Feb 23’ couldn’t do a thumbs up, is this normal for this age?

Is anyone else’s baby not really blabbering? She will make squealing noises, fake cough and laugh but no real blabbering.

It was my little one’s birthday yesterday and he is not yet doing any of these things… he will occasionally babble dada and mama. Older brother is non verbal and autistic. Is this a sign my second is also autistic?!

Hi all I have been thinking about getting my daughter in a baby room at a nursery a couple times a week to help her out with development the only problem is she doesn’t like to crawl and she don’t walk. (She is 15 months old) would this be an issue, she is my first born.

Is your 11 month old following directions. I had a play date with my friend who also has an 11 month old and her daughter is following simple direction like “go get the ball” and “bring the book” and my son is not doing that at all! Is he behind? Is everyone following directions.

Is anyone else dealing with their 18 month old boy digging their hand in their pants? I’m really concerned over this behavior because I’m not familiar with this. Could he be learning this behavior from someone? Is he itchy, maybe? Is he Just curious?.. idk 😕 maybe I’m overthinking this all.
