Walking

Any baby not walking yet? My son is just not interested yall 😪 We encourage him all day. He runs with his walker and takes many steps by himself but his main way to move around is still crawling. Pediatrician is not worried but I am 😭

Clicking noise when feeding

My baby is 5 weeks and she has started clicking at the bottle when feeding? I have read that it could be tongue tie but I don’t think it is as she’s never done this before? We have also recently gone from a 0 teat to and 1 teat so we don’t think it’s because of that either. Has anyone else experienced this?

Baby got scared

I turned on the blender and turn around to see my baby who’s on the floor crying and screaming. I turned the blender off right away and came picked her up she cried for maybe 10 ish seconds and was fine. Could this cause something bad or will she be fine? She never cried from a loud noise like that before 😅

Constant whinging

I cannot deal with the constant whinging! If he’s frustrated, if we say no, if he has to wait, for no reason at all; it’s endless!

Hitting & throwing objects

Bub is 2 next week & has begun hitting everyone and finds it funny. He also throws things around constantly. I was told in nursery he threw car toys at a set of twins. Is this normal? Surely not. His weekend child minder is concerned with behavioural change since he started there.

Counting

Any advice on how to get my nearly 2 year old to count. His speech is very good and he is like a little parrot and copies everything we say. He says 2 all the time and knows its 2 in a line of something etc. And occasionally has said other numbers. Because his speech is good I don't think it's that he can't say numb...
