Words

How many words are everyone’s kids saying at this stage? My son is almost 15 months and not really saying anything. He says “oh no” a lot but I don’t know if that’s like an accident or whether he understands what it means 😂. He’s not saying mama or dada either yet. He just rambles all day long but never says any real words.

My son chats away to himself and us constantly, with not alot of it being understandable. I've done baby sign with him since 3 months old, and so he can now wave, point and sign; help, shoe, monkey, dog, dolphin, drink, crocodile, fish, bird, nappy, bath, shower. He can understand quite a few more which helps but he choses not to sign them. In terms of words he'll say ta (thank you) mummama, daddadadaa and nananana. He can also say duck, cat, no and up, but it's on his terms and if he's learning anything else he sometimes forgets other things until he's mastered that one.

But he's only really started all of that in August, it just came out of nowhere.

If I remember correctly guidance for them at this age isn't many words. Plus if they are getting what they're after the need for communication isn't as great as your meeting those needs 🥰 x

Mine doesn't say any legible words. She has certain noises that I understand but they're not words. She seems to understand though and follows instructions. Pretty sure she's just waiting to be able to say a full sentence 😂

No words but understands heaps, points for what she wants/to answer something we’ve asked etc, shakes head for no, but not even mum/dad/up here either.

My baby girl is 15 months and says quite a few words, such as 'shoes', 'drink' 'eat' etc. However my oldest, who is talking very competently now (almost 3), didn't really say words till he was almost 2 and even then they were said in his own way, such as 'guck' for duck and 'gackle' for 'apple'. They are all so different! Plus speech is such a complex thing, I would definitely say understanding is key and their speech will come when they are ready 😊

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
