April 2025 Babies 🇬🇧

My son can say a fair few word but I’ve noticed he doesn’t say them properly ( which sounds ridiculous as I know he’s only little still) but when he says “bye” it’s more “bah bah”. I met my friend the other day who has a little girl who is the same age and she says “bye bye” really clearly. Is it just one of the those things where he will eventually say things more clearly or do I need to emphasise the letters more?

No worries or concerns, just wondering and noticed the difference!

Think I’m more conscious of it as I had speech therapy when I was little but that was more to do with having two loud older siblings and not being able to get a word in edge ways 🤣 so didn’t talk much

I need to get some because my little boy loves walking in the opposite direction and won’t hold my hand 🥲

Not sure if he’d like the backpack ones. Feel like he’d want to take it off?

So bit of background my child attends nursery with a friend I am close to. They are in a different room to my child but can hear my child in the building. My child’s key person each time a parent has said anything about her she takes it personally and gets the face on with the parents (which I believe is unprofessional, as she can’t take criticism). Anyhow, my friend can hear my child sometimes crying (which I know is normal) but I’m always told he’s perfectly fine. He hasn’t been well recently and we advised the nursery to let us know if he isn’t settled and we will take him home. Yesterday my friend could hear he wasn’t settled but again nursery said he was fine. What has tipped me over the edge is my friend heard his key person say his name in a stern way. Not shouting at him but basically in a tone of telling him off. My child wasn’t being naughty to be told off he was crying because he was tried. My friend heard this from the bottom of the nursery. I’m in a predicament as I’m furious as I know my child and her doing that would have startled him and he only calmed down when someone else took over. As a parent I wouldn’t know any of this if I didn’t have a friend who worked there and I don’t want to jeopardise her job but he’s my child.

Is anyone else on the same boat? Whenever he is walking outside with us (park, shop, pavement etc) he just walks opposite direction and doesn't listen to to us. I think he takes it a game but he doesn't have any sense of fear and he would just walk away. How can we correct this?

What are you putting baby to sleep in?! Baby can walk, normally use sleep bags with feet. But not finding many for 18-24m.
