Babbling ???

If your LO is good with speech I.e above average…so they still babble ?? Mine is good at communicating and will repeat everything we say…often times she does this long babble as if she is having a conversation with gestures and everything, I nod and give reactions but not sure of what she is saying. It’s not unusual right ?

My LB can talk really well and have proper little conversations with us, but yep sometimes he just chats/babbles to himself or us and I have no idea what he's saying!

My daughter says 8+ word sentences, she speaks like a 3 year old. She still babbles and mumbles words x

My daughter talks in full sentences, and has great understanding and hasn’t babbled at all since she started to talk properly. My son was talking in complex sentences by 18 months and he never really babbled at all, he was saying hairdryer and ironing (random choice of words!) by 9 months.

Not unusual at all! Just listen to the key words and model the language back so she can pick up the key words. She’s just demonstrating what she’s heard from others, so perhaps reducing your language back a bit will help build hers up!

Yes it’s almost like she has so much to say she can’t wait to think of the words so it all just comes out as random sounds, but with proper inflection and hand gestures etc. I usually just go “oh really?” Or “is that so?” Or “wow that’s interesting” 😂 I learned not to agree or disagree cos she certainly knows what she’s trying to say and I could be agreeing to anything 🙈

My daughter purposely says 'goo goo ga ga' like a pretend baby. She will also babble and when I ask what she said, she will come out with a sentence. X

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
