How to make baby happy?

He's so miserable. He's 14 months old and just the most iseable/unhappy baby. Moans and cries constantly. I get anxiety about doing anything with him because he just whinges. He cries when I change him. When I feed him. When I put him down. Its really getting to me now.

6 month old HATES car!!

My 6 month old screams and cries every single time she is in the backseat of the car. She does fine in her car seat every other time not in car. I’ve given her toys and put a mirror up so she can see around her and nothing helps. Anybody have this problem? What did you do to fix it ? Thanks!

My little one is now 26 months and doesn’t seem to be interested at all in talking. He can say the odd word but doesn’t really continue that on. He doesn’t say words together. He babbles a lot and makes sounds. He knows what things are if we ask him to get it and points at things we ask for. Should I be worried? He...

Can babies sense dad if never met them?

My BD is meeting his son for the first time on Sunday and was wondering if LB will be able to sense it’s his dad? He never heard him in the womb and he wasn’t there for the birth so will he be able to sense it’s his dad? He’s nearly 9 weeks
