How old is your daughter and what things are you noticing that is making you think she may be on the spectrum?
He’s not long turned 3. He’s never really experienced social interaction with children - we have no family or friends with children and a lot of groups in our area are still closed due to covid. I have told the nursery our concerns and that he may just seem like he’s being difficult but he just won’t understand the setting in the beginning, he’s only ever been looked after by family who have just let him do whatever (no structure I mean) the nursery have been lovely about it and I’m sure he’ll blossom there but it’s just that initial concern!!I don’t think you need to get a grip at all. How old is he? My daughter is 3.5 and will be starting preschool in September. She is fab, but extremely unsure around strangers and I and absolutely terrified at the thought of her going (and I’ve done it twice before!). I think it’s natural to worry how they will settle, and especially since you have other concerns as well which could make the settling more difficult.
I have no advice, but just that it will come and you will deal with whatever it throws at you
My daughter is 4 and uses one.I don’t know whether she’s too old for one, have you ever used one?
she slept through till 5:50amI woke up twice thinking where is she
I had a travel cot in the room and she slept in it the first night as she was exhausted but after that she didn’t want to, she climbed outCould you pick up a large travel cot or blow up bed type thing from anywhere today? Unsure where abouts you are! Tuesday is still another 4 nights (if my brain is working right) so might be worth it to enjoy the rest of your holiday without worrying about sleep?
Also yes definitely normal, my 2 year old just runs away most of the time. I have a lovely 820000 pictures of the back of his head though
yeah I’m just feeling so tired today! She’s in a right mood again and I dunno what’s going on with her, about to leave to go to the pool and she’s had a meltdown over getting dressed even though she said pool clothes to me. Had enough today 
we’ve had abit more of a chilled morning but I refuse to sit in the apartment all day abroad!Have you considered moving him to a floor bed? We moved my eldest son at 20 months to a floor bed, I would lie with him to go to sleep, and then when he woke in the night bring him back in with us. My 3yo is in a double so she sleeps alone until she wakes up then my husband sleeps in with her. All my older ones have then slept longer and longer stretches alone once In their bed.Joining this thread - mum of a 17mo.
Have coslept since around 7months old. He usually falls asleep on our bed then we move him over to his cot (still in our room as I just can't bare the thought of putting him in his own room yet!) He will sometimes sleep in there for a good run, sometimes between 5-6 hours but then cries to come back with us. Sometimes we can soothe him back to sleep in his cot, but ultimately he ends up back with us. But then on some nights, i Just leave him in with us!
As much as I love cosleeping with him, sometimes it's a nightmare as he can be such a wriggler and wakes us up by kicking us!
Is anyone else still cosleeping, or have done until this time? How did you/are you planning on moving over to stay in their own cots?
Do you sit and talk to him? Pick up objects and sound out what it is in front of him? Does he make noises that he uses for specific items? (Like making the mmmmmm sounds to signify mummy for example??)I fear this may be a long post so sorry in advance!
My little boy is 3 soon and his speech is non existent at the moment. He turned 1 during the first lockdown so he’s technically missed out a vital year or so. He doesn’t start nursery til Spring (hoping this brings on his speech) can anyone maybe recommend any activities/apps/books that have helped with your child’s speech?
Also he’s not potty trained yet. Haven’t even tried. Any tips would also be great.
Yeah that's the one.Ah sorry I've read half a conversation and just jumped in with my big mouth
MiniGlenCoco's tablet is the Amazon Fire tablet for kids though so not sure if that's the same as what @nurserewas talking about?
What time does he go to bed at night? Do you have a blackout blind or something on the window to keep the room nice and dark?
Yeah we do that already with the old phone she uses in the car. Have a bunch of stuff on Disney and netflex predownloaded. It's great until you drive off and realise they all need redownloadingYou can download a certain amount that you can watch without WiFi. We do it with MiniGlenCoco when we do long journeys. Think we had about 6 different programmes and about 5 episodes (depending on length of episodes etc).
We've also got Disney Plus and Amazon Prime on her tablet that you can also download from so that she cam watch without WiFi.
Just make sure that everything is downloaded and working before you set off. Many times we've forgotten and it's been a nightmarealthough you can use the hot spot on your phone but it is very slow

She's just turning 16m, we went out an got some of those 7m food packets cause its blended up since usually she has what we have an anything she needs to chew she's spitting back out the now, but she's not for even having those, we have tried her with her yougurts but after two spoons it's a no, I'll look into that anbesol liquid an try it, honestly my bro an his wife are exhausted, it's how I've had her since wed an keeping her till Sunday, so if anything we can find works they said it's fine, we just need somthing that will sooth her
Oh my god! This is me to a T with her too
she runs off and I also have to pin her down to clean her teeth!!!! Bloody toddlers! I hope so, the last week has been hard! Although the bad days/weeks are few and far between generally she sleeps well etc no problems 
Ibuprofen is an anti inflammatory- so it will reduce the inflammation in the body and will reduce pain. Paracetamol will only reduce pain.Oh my god! This is me to a T with her too
How come nurofen is better than calpol? I just always give calpol for pain x
thank you!
this is a good point. She’s having loads of ice creams throughout the day but not much water! Will make sure she drinks more, thank you x
Lol yep! We brought the paddling pool in at one point and tried that but she still freaked out. I only ever fill the bath up a tiny amount now because she refuses to sit down, so just wash and rinse with a jug.
