Crazy toddler

My crazy one year old has 3 bruises on his face so far this week.. hes not fully walking yet so I know it’s going to get worse but wow, my anxiety is through the roof, he’s so clumsy!! He’s got 2 that are lines from the edge of units, ones we didn’t even think we need to baby proof (obviously will now) like his cot edges 🤦‍♀️

Please tell me I’m not the only one with a crazy baby with bruises 😫😅

My little girl is terrible for bruises! She’s been walking for a couple of months now but she’s trying to run 🫣😬 her little legs can’t take her as fast as her body is going so she keeps falling over 🙈 we have had so many bumps. Bruises are mainly on her legs or back of her thighs where she keeps falling on her bum onto toys!

She did have the worst one in nursery though! I had the dreaded phone call last week that she had fallen and cut her head! I was sobbing when they sent me the pictures! We now call her Miss Bump🙈 can’t wait for her to be more steady!

Sending all the luck in the world for this next stage, well done to your little boy for exploring in new ways ☺️X

My boys the same, he started wobbly walking a couple of weeks ago and was banging his head at least once a day resulting in a bruise. He’s much sturdier walking now and we haven’t had a bad one for a few days 🤞🏻
But yep, there’s always at least one bruise on his head.

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡
