Don't put two words together

Hey,
I am just worried because my daughter is still using only single words, she has around 40 of them (if I count animal sounds - not sure if they count as actual words).
Not sure if I should bring it up with someone or give it a bit more time.
Anyone in the same situation or maybe a speech therapist here who can tell me what to do?

That's absolutely not a worry. My son's speech therapist isn't even worried he can't talk at all at 23 months!

Same situation here! My LO says tons of single words, I would say +100. However except for Hi, bye, yes and no, all his words are ‘things’ which I’ve read makes things harder for building sentences. I also speak to him in Spanish and my husband in English which I feel can be more confusing.. For what I’ve read there’s still nothing to worry about at this age, but it is hard not to compare to other kids 😩

do you know what is the latest age where it is a concern? I am super confused I feel like every article I read says differently.

3!

My LG uses mainly single worlds and has only fairly recently started to couple some words together. Honestly I wouldn’t worry. It will come soon I’m sure :)

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?

Any experience with different tears?

Hey Mamas

So my little girl is exclusively breastfed but she wont even take FRESHLY PUMP milk from the bottle. I had a whole 4oz that was going to waste and baby girl was just massanging her gums and smiling lol :/
Ive tried adding extra holes with a needle, the ol' switcheroo (BF first then switch ti bottle) but she's very keen and notices straight away.
Im currently using Nuby and Tommee silicone bottles, and I would like to try more softer, boob-like teats.

Id ideally like her to take a bottle so Dad can give me a REAL break yknow.

Has anyone had this same experience? Any teats one would recommend?
Thank you in advance!
