Crying

Does anyone’s 12 month old just cry when they aren’t being held or played with? I feel like I’m losing my mind with the crying and whining. This can’t be normal?? Please let me know. He’s the happiest baby as long as he is being held or someone is actively playing with him, but when we set him down it’s just a nightmare 😭

Yes. He will play for a while by himself.. but lately, all he wants is to be held by Momma. Especially if I walk away from him to do something, game over

this is like the peak of separation anxiety, my daughter went through it for like a week but she’s gotten better

She does and it breaks my heart, but I don't pick her up again till she stops crying. I pet her head and talk to her and sing to her and offer toys, but I don't pick her up when she's like that

Yes. Mine doesn't play well or entertain himself well on his own. He'll get whiny and pitch fits when he's bored. It does grate on me but I know he won't do this forever b

My son start doing that when he got sick. But normally he will try to get picked up if I have food or making food. Other than that he goes by his business. I don't like the crying or whining either. I give him that look that tells him that doesn't work. And he quiet down when he realize I'm not playing

My first (now 3) was this way. It’s just her temperament-higher need. It got better/easier around 16-18 months. Honestly though, she’s still a high need kiddo. Lots of whining/crying. Triggers me so much. My son (1) is the complete opposite. Hang in there!!

Mine does this too! It doesn't matter if she is in the same room as me and is right under my feet! She isn't always like it, but man she screams bloody murder. Then as soon as i pick her up she's just fine. She turned 1 yesterday

My son can't make up his mind. He randonly cries if I'm not holding him but once I pick him up he stops crying and wants down again.

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! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(
