Screaming and crying

My LO is 6 months old. He still hysterically screams and cires and there's no soothing him in sight. This can be from when he wakes up to having his bottle to soothe him to being put to bed or a nap he will SCREAM cry so loud. Sometimes when he's on the floor doing tummy time or crawling he will do this as well....

Shyness around strangers

My daughter is super loud and confident with people she knows, and nursery say she is the same there, but as soon as we are with people she doesn’t know or in a setting she is unfamiliar with, she is really quiet. We were at a 1st birthday party today and she just wanted to be picked up the whole time and refused to...

The talk?

First time moms to a one and a half year old girl here. At what age do you have that talk about there’s no “dada” or “daddy” in the household? And how do you even talk about it?

Babies are weird

My boy can go from sweetly staring and cooing to a screaming red faced rat baby in 5 seconds flat 😂 You'd think I'd never fed him in his life the way he changes! So weird 😅

My 3 yo son just said “I hate you!” Pointed his nerf gun to my head and pulled the trigger. I’m dead 💀

I had to turn my head because I fell out lmao. Has your toddler said this to you?? When did your kid first say it if at all?? I couldn’t help but laugh. Is that crazy? I think I’m just happy he’s expanding his vocabulary smh this motherhood thing is f****** nuts 😂😭😮‍💨

Speech

Ladies, I'm going incognito as I've posted before about my little ones speech and don't want to seem as though I am boasting, I'm more concerned. He is excelling in speech, he can count to 20, do his abcs and most recently, count backwards from 10 and ends with "blastoff". I am beyond proud of him, but a part of me ...

Banging head

Does anyone else’s baby do this ? He does it for hours and hours on a night waking up every 2 hours or so, it’s at the point where he’s getting bruises as he moves to the side of his cot. We have a paediatrician appointment on Wednesday but would be nice to go in with some insight, we thought it was an ear infection...

Concerns

Alright moms, here’s the deal. My 8 month old has been on the slower end of things. He didn’t smile till 3/4 months, didn’t roll till 7 months. I was always okay knowing babies grow at different rates, but now our pediatrician say that she’s watching him closely to see if there is the possibility of autism. Now I’m ...
