Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Milestones

Anyone else’s baby at that stage where they shove their hands in their mouth and end up making t themselves sick? My (almost) it’s my 4 month olds new trick 🥲🫠 Any tips of how to stop it would be appreciated

I’m worried that my 9 month old is not meeting milestones. She can sit up but can’t crawl. Can’t wave or clap hands yet. Babbles away and is always happy. Are the milestones being met for her age?

My boy is late August baby and doesn't seem to be interested in crawling, still hates tummy time. He sits unassisted and can go on sitting for an hour happily playing, but if he's on his back he just won't bother. I know he can roll but decides not to. Not quite sure whether I should worry or he'll just decide to mo...

Any tips on how to deal with hitting and biting phase. Nothing seems to work for my toddler the more I try to stop him the more he hits

Mine is picking up a lot and is copying me daily but not really a back n forth type of convo that I’m seeing a lot of children are

Any tips on how to drive when your little one is bawling? He spits the dummy out and cries so much he loses his breath and goes red. I keep pulling over but literally can't go anywhere without this happening !

Is it normal for 15 months old to only speak a few words? Maybe 15-20 words

My 8 month old is trying so hard to crawl, he gets so frustrated though and we get grumpiness and screams most days because of it! How can I encourage him to move? Anyone else going through similar?

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…

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 🤔

My LG keeps scratching the back and sides of her head. She does it more when she's tired but it's almost turned into a habit now and she's made the back of her head sore by doing it. I don't know if it's a developmental thing or if I should be concerned the amount she's doing it....

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.

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...

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?

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

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...
