Anyone else getting beaten up by their baby? Every day he's constantly thumping me with his fists and he's pretty strong! And kicking me in the csection scar any time he can especially during nappy changes.

My baby has started crawling, and I don't like placing her on the carpet because we have 4 dogs( if you know you know). Hair everywhere. I do, however, put her on a blanket, but it moves when she does making it slippery and hard to crawl on. I'm looking for a non-slip floor mat to put on the rug and floor, please....

My 2.5 year old told me that I have a baby sister in my tummy.... we only found out we are pregnant Saturday and definitley not said anything around her 🤣🤣 do they just know?!?

How long did it take your little ones to pick up :(

Interested to hear opinions on whether to, and how long to let babies cry before soothing them. My baby is 5 weeks old and I want him to learn to self soothe, however I also believe that everything at this age contributes to a child’s development, and I would hate to do anything that would detrimentally impact his b...

I am almost 34 weeks pregnant and my first is 20 months old and the toddler tantrums are out in full force! He has become incredibly clingy and wants to be carried (only by me) 24/7 and I am struggling!! I have seen that from 32 ish weeks toddlers can come very clingy. Has anyone experienced this? Any advice is incr...

Hello! My son he wont share any toy with other kid, today when we went play area he wouldn't allow any other kid in the ball pit when other kids trying to play with him he pushes them away screaming no. Help I don't know why he is behaving like this any other boys behaving this way?

I’m feeling a bit upset. My sister in law saw my son yesterday. Today she sent me a whole long text about how she’s concerned about my sons speech. That he’s far behind . 🥺. He’s two years old, and yes he doesn’t say too much but he says a few shape words like star , circle etc. He says daddy . Has anyone else had…

I feel terrible, I think my baby is addicted to Ms Rachel. He's only 11 months old. Has anyone cut their child off of TV when it seemed to start to get out of control? I need advice 😭 it's been hard with hardly any help, my baby is so active and needs a lot of stimulation but I can't be playing with him all day…

Anyone's baby just whinging loads at the moment? Mines always been a happy bubba but recently (since learning how to crawl and sit up) is moaning and whinging loads when on her play mat, when she'd usually play quite happily for ages! I need someone to tell me this is just a phase 🙉

is it normal to cry thinking about my baby turning 1? i cry at least once a day i feel like im crazy lol

How many tantrums does your little one have a day? Feels endless!

Does anyone else’s baby around 4-5 months just swing on them? My baby does it kind of when he’s tired or being fussy with me, just repeatedly hits my face or ends up kind of knocking himself on his head… are y’all’s babies also doing this?

My son used to say mama, dada, bye bye, up, and no all the time. He will be 16 months on the 29th. This started happening about a few months ago around early August it just all stopped. I thought it was a phase but now I’m starting to get concerned because all his words are gibberish now. I know they said after 2 th...

We are playing with toys, singing, dancing, going for walks, dancing fruit on the tv. He is so whiny at the minute he won’t even sit in his chair for 2 minutes whilst I have a wee without moaning 😂😂

Anyone else’s baby constantly growling / grunting / making little whingey noises ALL day? I don’t know if it’s just a communication barrier thing, but I’m really struggling with it and guess I just need reassurance it’s just a phase and not his personality? I don’t know how to help him 😢 I just want him to be happy…

Recently it sounds like my baby trying to say mama all day long nonstop its so funny .& cute. 😂

I'm just wondering when those who have children with autism reflect back to them being babies, what were the first inclinations or signs that now make sense? And how old were they when you first started suspecting? Asking as an autistic parent with a 5 month old

Has anyone else’s 9 month old just completely changed in the last week or so? My boy is usually so happy but right now is so grumpy all the time, keeps crying randomly which he never usually does, won’t stay entertained with anything at all and can’t decide what to do. Even is a fight getting him in the pram…

Anyone else feel like us mums with babies who are learning fast, are silenced on this app or shamed for being proud? I have empathy for those who worry about their babies not reaching milstones but we should still be allowed to celebrate ours!
