My 18 month defs isn’t putting sentences together which I think is quite normal for her age but says maybe 10 or so words, I’m not exactly sure how many though

Mines 17 months old! She can say some words and is learning what things are. No sentences yet! They learn so quickly it’s crazy!

Each baby develops at their own pace, my Bub is 18 months on the 30th and says a few short phrases like “what’s this” “we go” “go car” “wake up” and says around 30 words so far with meaning/understanding, she understands a lot more though. I wouldn’t stress too much.

Around 50 words, starting to put two words together like “Where Puppa” or “Nanny Here” and “Ouch, Sorry”

My son says little things like “baby boy, look that, what’s that” and other little words but not full sentences and he understands a lot as well when we talk to him

Def not speaking sentences! She understands heaps though. Can say mumma and daddy, "shhu" for shoe, "wower" for shower and flower, "bubba" for baby, bubble..."burple" for the purple fork 😆 "ba" for ball...etc.

My little one is just on 18 months and says around 10 words. Never a couple together, and prefers to use gestures and head nods. I’ve been singing and talking with her and encouraging speech since birth, so I know that she’s just not there yet, though I wish she was!

My little one says 7 words 😰
I’ve just had a referral for a speech therapist from our GP. My doctor doesn’t seem to be to concerned and mentioned boys develop slower in regards to speech.

Def all different. My lo says lots of words and can do most animal noises. She puts a few 2 word ‘sentences’ together like where daddy or hi daddy or Pouppie go (our cat). She also tries to mimick songs and and says tickle tickle star up up 😆 and she can sort of count but I don’t think she quite gets what it means yet. She’s a parrot for sure.
The rate of learning new things is incredible.
A friend’s toddler couldn’t talk at 2 and they were a bit worried. Now he’s 5 and the biggest chatter box so don’t worry as long as they understand so you know it’s not a hearing issue.

Probably about 40-50 but not consistently and not pronounced well.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
