I should have replied something like yeah we share a can of red bull or something mad like that

Such a good idea re the t-shirts!

Yeah we’ve got some yellowish side marks where she’s rubbed her hands on the side of her tshirt after putting sun cream on

good to know about the bleach but wtf is that about wonder what the chemical reaction is there

I got one of the Dr Beckmann Stain Devils, think it's the cosmetics and nature one. Worked a treat on sunscreen stains.

Has anyone’s one year old gone through a phase of when they meet new people/people they don’t see often…. Kinda staring at them then blinking slowly and frowning.

My friend came round yesterday who baby wotsit has only met a few times and he did it in front of her and she’s banged on all evening about seizures and autism.

He does it every now and again at the mo, not sure if it’s when he’s tired…. Or a kinda nervous shy thing when people come up to him all enthusiastic….Hes in a clingy, shy kinda place atm.

All I can find online is that people’s toddlers went though a phase of it and they never knew why….. or that it can be a nervous/anxious thing.

Just be nice to hear if sometimes little one did it and it’s just a normal little phase

My now 4 year old did it, sometimes he still does it and he’s 4. He used to always blink and frown and turn his head from people he didn’t know - now he’s a bit better at meeting new people depending on his mood, if he’s a bit grumpy he frowns and turns his head away. If you think about it, their meeting people they don’t know and aren’t used to or recognise so it must be a bit daunting! Some babies are just shy babies it doesn’t mean it’s a sign of autism

My 1 year old does that too and I thought to myself numerous times “is that a seizure?” Because he’s very blank when he does it then shuts his eyes and suddenly is ‘back in thenroom’ kind of thing but it’s definitely a choice he’s making to do it. especially when meeting new people or unfamiliar people.
I sometimes wave my hand in front of his face or get silly and say his name and he usually smirks whilst still staring.
My son is also in a major shy separation anxiety stage atm.
