May 2024 Babies 🇺🇸

I’m 99.9% sure my child may be autistic but my mother keeps saying my daughter isn’t. She shows so many signs though. She’s got limited speech, she doesn’t always respond to her name nor does she always look at us, she flaps her arms or hands, she spins, she walks on her tip toes, she lines toys up and sometimes afterwards she’ll play with them but not always, and she’s showing so many other signs. Her pediatrician said at her 18 month appointment that she didn’t think my child was autistic but I feel as if my thoughts were dismissed. We’re a military family using tricare prime so I’d have to jump thru hoops to see a different one but I feel like it may be necessary. Any advice or other moms going thru similar?

Before I get into this please no negativity. I’m already struggling mentally with this. So my daughter is about to turn 2 and I love her. Me and my husband both wanted 1 boy and 1 girl. For us especially me that was the perfect family. That’s what I wanted with everything I am. We had been trying for a little boy. January I found out I was pregnant and I was over the moon. I just found out the gender and it’s another girl. I want to still be excited but I’m not. I’ve actually been in the worst depression I’ve ever had. Now I don’t care about the pregnancy and I know how bad that sounds I’m just really struggling with this. Has anyone else been threw this and how did you get threw it

My oldest is 22 months and is such a daddy’s girl. When our second child was born in November, she was super helpful around the house. Wanting to help throw her diaper away and what not. Lately my husbands job has been having him work 68 hour weeks. Our oldest is starting to act out alot more, not wanting to help out anymore. My husband thinks it’s because he’s working so many hours and not being home as much. She does put her fingers in her ears when she’s screaming. I dont know if it is a phase or she’s teething. We give her so much love and cuddle her to calm down, but it feels like it’s never enough.😔😔

My little one is 22 months old and she is obsessed with her pacifier, literally 24/7. We’ve tried everything, but she has meltdowns and anxiety when she’s without it. She even wakes up during the night if she loses it. We tried taking the pacifier away during the day once, and she screamed so much that she lost her voice. She is talking a lot, I don’t have any concerns.

It’s a nightmare. I swear, if someone convinces me again, like my OB did, to give a pacifier to my newborn, I will go crazy. Any advice?

So my 22 month old has almost all her teeth in and she is grinding her teeth during the day. We brush her teeth as best as we can but feel we cannot get to brush them properly she is hating me going in with a tooth brush I also need to floss her as her teeth are together and she does not allow me to do this .. im worried she is having tooth pain due to me not able to get in properly or if its due to her teething .. she goes to the dentist every 3 months and the last time she was there she was not grinding her teeth the dentist did say she was having her molders come in I hope I spell that right ... she doesn't have any swollen cheek and to the best of my abilities I dont see any bump on her gums .. its a battle to get in her mouth .. any tips , advice ladies im so aware of the issues that can happen not being able to brush her teeth properly 😭
