Baby only wants mummy

My son is 8 months old and ALL for me, he loves and giggles at his dada but he’s never happy or content unless I’m holding him. I absolutely adore my boy, but it’s proving so difficult and draining because I barely ever get a single second to myself. Is anyone else’s little one the same way? 😩

Baby’s Mouth ❤️

Anyone else’s baby’s mouth droop when they are being expressive, I’m not sure whether this is normal or not? I’ve recently been told her head isn’t growing as it should be, so maybe it’s just that playing on my mind, but I’ve always noticed it and now it’s making me more concerned.

Talking?

How much is your 14 month old talking. I feel like my lil one isn’t talking as much as she should. She just saying the same worlds she’s said for over 5 months.

Bring back the 2’s please 😩

The best parts of toddlerhood is how cute they are, their cute pronunciations of words, how funny they are and just watching their little personalities emerge. But boy oh boy, why is there so much attention to ‘terrible two’s’ when the 3’s are just absolutely ‘terrific’. 😬

My little girl doesn't walk on her own yet

So my little girl will be 15 months old in a few days. She was late when it came to crawling as she was 10 months old. She's taken some independent steps, cruises around furniture at the speed of lightening, can even climb up on things and stands on her own but she just won't walk, if she does a few steps she usuall...
