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?

Tantrums and preschool

My sweet little guy has turned into a terror 😭 He is screaming and screaming going to preschool - he won’t even come down stairs in the morning without a massive tantrum. I’ve spoken to them and they said he’s amazing when he’s there - literally wipes the tears away and gets on with his day. They think he’s…

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...

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.

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!

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 😅

Pointing 17 months

So my baby was evaluated at daycare today and it says she’s not pointing to an object or picture when it’s named. She will point to show me something she wants, and even says “this” when she’s pointing, but she won’t necessarily point if I say, “point to the apple”, even though she knows what an apple is and she kno...
