Is 2 year olds (almost 3) too young to start learning to read letters?

Not expecting him to suddenly master it or anything but we have been doing alphabet and phonics for awhile cause he always wanted us to draw and after a point we ran out of new things so we went on to letters and numbers 😅 but he knows almost all of them so I don’t know if to see if he can string them together to read cat or something

My daughter was writing her own name and sounding out simple words by the time she was almost 3 so I don’t see why not! 😊

It's not too young but it might be worth looking at the school you are planning on sending him to and see what reading scheme they use so you use the same method as sometimes they can get confused if they have learnt different methods.

Standing???

Anyone else’s 7 month old standing up and trying to take steps??? My son can fully stand without support and is now trying to take steps. I feel like it’s too early?…

Excuse the mess, I’m doing a late night deep clean and he’s doing the opposite of helping 😂

Deodorant

Ladies what deodorant are we all using?

Since the sun has finally remembered to exist and we've been going on more walks I STINK. I smell like I've been laying on the beach in the sun covered in oil all day. All just after going for a walk.

I know a lot of people struggle with this postpartum but it's so embarrassing!

I just can't seem to find one that works for me?

Help!?!

Sleeping 5 months

My baby is 5 months today, his been a wake up once a night for milk since 3 months old. Very luckily i know. For the last couple of days we are having lots of waking up but his moan crying( not crying crying) if that makes sense. If we give him a cuddle he will happily be straight asleep in seconds.

Have we hit the 4 month sleep regression late?
Anyone else in this phase?
We are also teething could it be this?
Help and suggestions please

Thank you in advance

6 week old wont wake for bottle

Hi all, my little one has been unusually sleepy the past few days and has been much quieter. When she is fussing , its not her usual cries and high pitched moans, shes been moaning in a very low pitch which almost sounds like extremely weak cries.

Shes been asleep for almost 4 hours, which is unusual for the day. Usually she gets hungry every 2 hours so ive changed her nappy and tried to wake her about an hour ago and had no luck.

Tried talking to her and stroking her and shes just been a little jumpy but still not woke up.

Is this normal, im worried she may be ill but there arent any other signs like a fever/ high temp/ or sniffles.

Waking baby up for their last feed?

Hi guys. So my baby was due in October but born in September, he is now 6 months old. It's nearly 11:45 and hes still asleep, I'm not sure whether to wake him for his night feed or let him sleep? He does usually wake himself up but think he may be getting full? Any help is appreciated 😊
