Baby sensitivity

I was pushing my 10 week old through the high street today and one guy showing off his car came speeding through, revving it up too at certain points. I looked at the pram and my baby was crying, looking very scared too. He calmed down after a few seconds of comforting but wanted to know if it’s normal for babies to...

Worried my 5 week old baby isn't engaging with me

My baby is 5 weeks old and I'm worrying about it a little as he is so placid. I know I shouldn't complain and I'm not but wondering if this is normal. He sleeps so much, only cries to be fed every 3-4 hours, and is happy lying on his sleepyhead looking at black and white mobile while awake. He's not clingy at all bu...

Smiling baby

Mamas when did your baby start smiling ?? My baby is always frowning and hasn’t started smiling yet. He’s 7 weeks old and he’ll smile in his sleep but when he is awake he just stares at me and frowns. Sometimes he doesn’t even look at me I’ll hold him and talk to him and he’ll look around and not make eye contact wi...

Baby making demonic sounds

My baby 6 months, grunts and strains making evil sounds. He's been experimenting with his voice and it was freaking me out at first. It's hard not to laugh. I know he's just playing with his voice, but wow some seriously creepy noises. I hope he doesn't keep it up at night while I'm asleep. 😭

Toddler hitting

So my 22 m.o. has been hitting more and more recently. It started as just not being able to control himself to now what seems like a deliberate choice. I’ve been trying to teach him to use nice hands, and I know he knows how to do it, but now he’ll just hit while saying “nice”. What has helped your toddlers learn no...

Trying to stay positive

My almost 28 month old has just started seeing a private SLP. She’s a very happy girl, uses the words she knows at home but has no context to them. I’m hoping once she gets more comfortable at the SLP’s she opens up more. This feels like it’s going to be a very long process to have her speak with purpose. I’m tryin...
