Babbling

Anyone else’s babe not babbling with consonants (no ma, ba da) ???

No consonants. I get a few vowels here and there. But she is very vocal in other ways. So I'm hoping it just comes along soon

Oh good! Same! I am so glad to hear we are not the only ones.

He squealed and made all kinds of noises but I was getting nervous myself not hearing the true baby babble until. Few weeks ago (he turned 7 mos on the 1st) now everything is da dadaaa and this week I'm hearing more ma's and babas so hang in there

She just does this ALL DAY! Haha. It's still early, she hasn't gotten loud yet

My little does the exact same!!

Mine was doing da-da, raspberries and tongue clucking for a few weeks and then totally stopped. It’s been a month now and she’s started the raspberries again and clucking again… she’ll also do ba sounds but only using a toy in her mouth to do so. Hoping the da’s start again

Ugh I feel like mine is so quiet all the time

Mines sings dadda all day and she calls me baba only when she frustrate with dada or want food

Antibiotics and breast milk.

Has anyone taken antibiotics and noticed that it has affected their breast milk? I have been on antibiotics for a week (4 a day) and every time my baby has breast milk she is immediately sick afterwards and cranky. (This was never an issue before being on antibiotics), so I have been pumping and pouring away my milk (which is soul destroying) until I finish the tablets. She has been having formula instead and isn’t being sick with that at all and seems much more settled.

What age do babies start sleeping through the night??

I know it's different for everyone but what age did your baby start sleeping through?

Would it bother you? Hubby never finishes.

So my husband doesn't finish. Not for birth control but he just doesn't finish, he says he can go a really long time before actually finishing. He can finish as we have a child together.

It's never bothered me enough to cause serious problems in our relationship. Sometimes I wonder if I'm good enough in bed? He says he just gets tired. I've only ever been with two guys, my ex and hubby and my ex never had an issue with it. Hubby says he likes it and we have a healthy sex life as in we have sex regularly.

Just wondered if it would bother you or am I overthinking it?

Travel pram

Has anyone used any of these prams? I want to make sure the seat sits upright fully and isn’t really flimsy that my son could fall out but I know these are cheaper prams as I can’t afford a lot so keep looking on marketplace etc

AITA

So my due date is in 10 days but obvs we don’t know when the baby will actually come. Anyway, my SIL is also pregnant (after 10 years of infertility) and I am so happy for her when I found out because the doctors had said they may never conceive. So she has her gender reveal on the 26th of April (which would be almost 2 weeks after due date) in either case I wouldn’t feel comfortable attending while newly postpartum and with a newborn baby where there will be lots of people I don’t even know, I said to my husband he should go just with my daughter, which he agreed but mentioned she might feel a certain way. I mean she needs to sort of be understandable, I just don’t want to put my baby at risk, and after I gave birth last time I made myself very unwell thinking I’m okay to go out and about earlier than I should. On top of this, she shouldn’t feel a certain way because in our culture it is crucial for the mum and baby to not leave the house for 40 days, and she knows this. Anyway I don’t think I’m being an Asshole, I just don’t want to put my baby at risk and especially because people from my country don’t know boundaries when it comes to babies (kissing them, holding them, passing them around)
