The best Facebook groups for parents of toddlers

Facebook groups for toddler parenting advice

By

Raising a toddler isn’t always a walk in the park, so getting parenting advice from your extended “village” can make you feel less isolated and give you new ideas on how to approach parenting those complicated little kids. Facebook groups are the perfect place to connect with thousands of other parents to use as a sounding board for advice on issues like potty training in a way that one opinion on Google or from the pediatrician can’t provide.

Whether you’re looking for new activities, searching for language development advice, or wanting help on an issue specific to your child, these Facebook groups for toddlers are worth clicking the “Join” button.

Brushing a toddler's hair

Parents can't control whether their baby will be born with a full head of hair or with only a few, wispy strands. It can be difficult for some to wait for their baby's hair to grow. Still, whichever camp your baby falls into, you've probably read the books and learned early on about the many benefits of brushing your baby's hair regularly. But, as you draw near the 1-year-old mark, you may start to worry about whether your toddler's hair is just growing slowly, or not at all. Is there a range of what's normal for baby and toddler hair growth? Yes! This is because of a baby's individual DNA. So, there's no need to stress either way.
