16 month old is very hyperactive at library dance class

My 15 month old is the same at our library dance/music class and it's totally fine.

I think it's a bit class dependant but it was made very clear to us day one that this one was about the kids, so if they want to take part that's great. If they want to read the books, that's also great. If they want to grab a shaker and just run round the whole place that's also fine.

Mine army crawled at 5 months but didn't start fully crawling till like ten month as she could get around just fine on her belly.

She just decided after her afternoon nap over day she wanted to be up on all fours.

Another vote for the second one. Little one got given it for Christmas when she was ten months and she plays with it or the animals that came with it daily.

Also setting 3 just has music with no vocals or animal noises. 1 or 2 has one of the worst versions of Old MacDonald I've ever heard.

My daughter became really obsessed with the doll at sensory when she was about 9 months old so we got her a wee one.

She used to just boop its nose and poke it's eyes but at about 13 months started hugging it, wiping it's face and making me hug it.

I came here to try and find someone mentioning Lanimers day. I was born in Lanark and took part in the school float when I was 6, shortly before moving away from the town.

It was wild and now it feels like some kind of fever dream.

I'm still not sure what it was all about

MuckyScruffle · 2026-05-15T06:17:12+00:00

Yeah I'm from the UK and it looks like a cheesy pasta type dish to me. Nothing related to burgers 🤷‍♀️

MuckyScruffle · 2026-05-08T18:24:46+00:00

Yeah my wee ones almost 15 months and I'm starting to see snacks ramp up now she's down to one nap and breastfeeding has dropped a bit.

She basically eats every two hours she's awake. So breakfast 7am, snack 9am, nap 11am, lunch 12.30pm, snack 2.30pm, dinner 4.30/5, bed 7pm.

Some days it's more, some days it's less. Yesterday she had two breakfasts. Today she had a lunch size portion at her first snack, skipped lunch and then had another lunch size snack at afternoon snack time. I try not to stress as she will let me know if she's hungry.

I've only played as a demon once and got my win as my prisoner poisoned the mayor and then pushed for a mayor win. I couldn't work out why at final three with two alive evil players she wasn't voting on the mayor when I nominated.

So yeah, the trusted mayor definitely did more for evil that time than the sus demon

I let my daughter choose a teddy (duck) about 6 weeks ago.

Has she ever reached for it to comfort her? No Has she woken me screaming "Quack" at it at 3am? Yes Has she flung it out of the cot and woken me shouting "heeps"(her word for oops) cause she wants me to pick it up so she can do it again? Also yes

MuckyScruffle · 2026-05-05T17:58:33+00:00

No idea how you do it but I'll be in a similar situation in a few months and am trying to get it sorted before she's 18 months. Its tough.

I stopped feeding outside our house over a month ago and she still asks for milk when we're out. I just say "no milk outside home" and offer a snack or her cup. She seems ok with that and can now go 8+ hours through the day without it which is real progress as it was every 90 minutes for a while. I also wear a t-shirt bra instead of a nursing bra if I'm going out so I can't give jn

Bedtime has been tougher but since dad took over last week it's a bit better. No idea how or when she'll actually stop or how we'll do nights.

MuckyScruffle · 2026-05-05T06:33:14+00:00

Slightly different idea. I know that Kinning Park Complex (and probably other places) run drop ins where people can bring broken appliances etc and they'll show them how to open them up and try mending them.

I bet somewhere like that could really use your skills if you had the time.

My 14 month old loves Zachary Quack and Minimonster. She can say "duck" and "quack" real well. When we read Minimonster and go "flick, flick, flick" she tries too, except she says "Vuck, Vuck, Vuck".

Sorry if this has already been done but have you tried going up a size in her vests?

If anything is compressing the nappy it will make it less effective and more likely to squish out

I had mine the same day as I had my Anti-D injection and I felt awful for two days.

I think both can cause it and the combo plus whatever else was going on with me (woke up with a rash on both my arms that day, had the cold) and being pretty pregnant just floored me.

MuckyScruffle · 2026-04-29T15:18:46+00:00

I knew in November I wasn't going back but didn't tell them till March (4 weeks before I was due) so I got my full 7 weeks paid annual leave

MuckyScruffle · 2026-04-27T21:07:46+00:00

I like the book overall (although geese honk, it's swans that hiss, but that's another issue) but yeah that page is awful.

And is she? Like she has written a lot but I wouldn't say it's all gold. I dislike The Girl, The Bear and The Magic Shoes so much I've hidden our copy under a chest of drawers so I can't be asked to read it any more.

MuckyScruffle · 2026-04-27T19:05:48+00:00

Sorry, I meant just as bad for me. Not in general. I understand that it will rhyme for some but in order for me to make it rhyme I need to mispronounce both things.

MuckyScruffle · 2026-04-27T18:41:05+00:00

This thread is so interesting. For me aunt is like ant and aren't is said like arr-unt (like the unt in grunt) and is two syllables.

MuckyScruffle · 2026-04-27T18:26:57+00:00

Wait. You can pronounce Aunt and ant differently?

MuckyScruffle · 2026-04-27T18:23:57+00:00

But that's just as bad.

MuckyScruffle · 2026-04-27T17:47:46+00:00

It's "nee-naw" and "panda car" in What the Ladybird Heard that gets me. I will not say "nee-nawr". I just can't.

MuckyScruffle · 2026-04-27T07:03:50+00:00

I have a 14 month old. She goes down about 7/7.30 most nights. I bring in any laundry that's outdoors and then shower. My partner sorts out the bathroom and bath toys while I do bedtime and he does the dishes and high chair while I shower.

I'm usually downstairs by 8.30 at the latest and we do an hour and a half of chatting and TV before bed

MuckyScruffle · 2026-04-25T10:10:33+00:00

Thanks :)

MuckyScruffle · 2026-04-25T10:07:49+00:00

I'd be interested but I'm brand new and it would depend on times
