Early Intervention

Has anyone put their little one in early intervention for speech? My son is newly 2 and is delayed. We were just given a referral for him! What are some things I should expect or ask in the coming weeks when we get set up with a pathologist? 😊

Walking

My little boy was 13 months on 3rd March. He still hasn’t taken any steps, he stands all the time but would still rather crawl. Are everyone else’s babies who are a similar age on here walking yet? I’m always so worried about him being behind.

Toddler on motorbike with BD

Would you let your 3 year old go on a motorbike with your BD? My SO has been taking our son on his motorbike. He straddles him between his thighs and has my son wear a bike helmet. I said I no and I wasn't okay with it but he does it anyway on days that I'm working. His motorbike goes up to 50mph but he says he only...

Help! Toddler started banging his head on things

Recently if I’m in the kitchen cooking or doing something where I can pick him up right away, he will bang his head back onto the cabinets or oven handle. I put my hand back to stop him and usually pick him up right away. I’m trying to stop him from doing it and not pick him up immediately so he doesn’t think he nee...

He can cruise quite happily around furniture, pulls himself up fine but won't stand independently, will walk with a walker and will walk a little holding hands but won't even try on his own.

Delayed milestones

Hey my son is 9 months old next week and has been going physio for issues with arm weakness which has now resolved. His physio kind of made me feel like a bad mum as she said he should be crawling, getting into sitting position and pulling himself up on to things which he doesn’t do. Basically telling me she wants h...

17 months and he hits head on things when angry, anyone have any tips for this?

As the title suggests, we already have early intervention referral because of a speech delay. At first it was the graco pack and play and now it’s the edge of the wooden play pen we have. I’m scared because he has a bruise on his forehead now over this

17 month old not talking yet

My son is 17 month old and he isn’t talking yet. He says only mama and dada when he really wants something. A lot of the time he grunts and babbles. He follows directions when I tell him to come here or the word no. But is he too young to talk yet? Is anybody going through this?
