Clingy 2 year old age

Hey mama’s! The last few months it seems like we are going through some separation anxiety and a very clingy stage. I’m also pregnant so I wonder if she senses that but anyone else feeling like their kiddo is more clingy towards them at age 2?

Signs of autism? 16 months

My son has started walking on his tiptoes in the last couple of days. Not all the time though. He also sometimes walks round the room in circles, sometimes it's around his toys, sometimes he thinks it's funny. Should I be concerned about this?

Not walking

My baby is 14 ish months old and he is still not walking😭 He is standing up with support and will also stand up without support for a few seconds or so. Is any other mama out there in the same boat? How can I encourage walking without him getting irritated and throwing himself on the floor like usual.

Screaming baby

My baby is 16 weeks old and me and his dad live separately due to both living with our parents. We stayed with my partner for 2 weeks and we have come home to my parents without his dad for a couple of nights so they can spend some time with him. Since we got here he has been crying and screaming and will not let me...

Playing parents off against each other

My Son keeps saying ‘no I want daddy to do it’ then ‘no mummy do it’ when we have to do various things like get him in the car, or put his pj’s on. It’s becoming really frustrating. Is anyone else’s LO doing this? How are you coping with it? If the other parent doesn’t do it he really cries, or he will just keep say...

2 year old milestones

Hi mamas, Im just curious. My 2 year old says mama, dada, bubble, wow, cow etc but doesn’t connect sentences. He would grab me to what he wants or bring stuff for me to open for him if he wants it. He doesn’t wave yet even if I tried to teach, he doesn’t point and he’s not interested in whatever I teach like colours...

How are your babies developing?

My boy will be 7 weeks tomorrow and he holds up his head, kicks, reaches for + grab things, attempts to stand, during tummy time pushes his self forward/rolls over and smiles/laughs/try’s to babble back when I talk to him. Is this happening with your babies too? I feel like he’s growing so fast.

Biting

My 10 month old bit my cousins baby (6 months old) today and my initial reaction was to shout/ tell her no biting but she’s so little so I’m confused on what to do :/ My cousin asked if I was going to discipline her but I don’t know what I’m meant to do here because she’s 10 months and still a baby?? Help?

I’ve witnessed her the other day standing up in the middle of the room taking a few steps sitting back down standing up taking more steps sitting etc. However the past 2 days she has wanted nothing to do with standing on her own or taking steps. Is this t...

eye contact

my baby will be 5 months in 2 weeks. he has great eye contact when laid on the ground and smiles and giggles and is reaching all his milestones. However, when i hold him up close to my face he avoids all eye contact with me and is too worried about all his surroundings. is this normal or should i be concerned?
