Speech development

I don’t want this to come off as bragging in the slightest so sorry if this comes across that way, but I’d like to say my toddler is advanced in their speech, forms sentences, great memory etc. Just wondering what things others are doing or what we could do to further challenge and develop this skill? They go to nur...

Unhappy Baby

My LO is just the most unhappy baby I've ever come across. We barely get 10 minutes at a time without him breaking into crying, it's really wearing us down. He's been like this since birth and is now 6.5 months. We've explored various medical issues and he's currently on medication for silent reflux, but nothing m...

Crawling and walking

Anyone else's 13 month old still not crawling or walking? I know the all have their own time frame but it's so hard not to get worried about it, my SIL asked yesterday of he was doing either and was so shocked he wasn't crawling (I don't know if she intended it to sound offensive, I think she just didn't think about...

Concerns?

My baby just turned one this month, and I have a few concerns.. 1) he’s not holding his own bottle yet, he holds it then just throws it rather than drinking from it even when he’s super hungry 2) he’s not clapping, he points, waves, just doesn’t clap 3) he’s not standing independently yet and not even attempting to...

Just found a wasp crawling along baby's playmat 😭

I put baby down for 2 minutes to nip to the toilet, I come back in and he's sitting playing quite happily, with a WASP crawling along his playmat only a few inches away. I cannot stand creepy crawlies nevermind wasps, safe to say I think the neighbours heard me 🤣

Worried mum!

Please I need help. I’m making myself ill with the worry. My son is 22 months old. Doesn’t talk, just shouts when he wants something. He points and will take us to where he wants us to get something from. I’ve tried everything with him and he just isn’t talking yet. He will babble and say the obvious ‘mama’ and ‘dad...

My little girl has been doing this 2 months now and it’s absolutely draining me 🫣 doesn’t matter who else is in the room. She’s only not bothered if she’s mid milk bottle and I leave to go out and leave her with daddy or nanny but they say she doesn’t react to them leaving the room at all. My first born only did it…

Knee pads

Does anyone have any knee pads for your toddlers for when they are crawling in the garden? Makes me twitch every step, especially if they are wearing shorts? I saw some on Amazon and wondered if it’s a good purchase or not? Or waste of money?

My toddler cries at cat videos LOL

My daughter who is a little over 1 has always cried when she sees a video or a movie with cats and if it has music with it whether it’s a happy or sad one. Like why?? lol I just find it so interesting that she may just have such a connection to find them beautiful or something. 😂 I’m truly so curious why this…
