Speech therapy and was it a success or helpful

Hi all so I’m on the waiting list for speech therapy for my 2.5 year old boy. Has anyone been though it and was it helpful or successful?

Im so stressed any tips how to help my son to speak. He watches way too much Tv so really
Doesn’t help. He has also become so fussy with eating too.

He’s been assessed at Nursey as I had concerns over his speech and feeding but they had no issues just said he’s shy at first but then gets into groove and has built friendships with others now.

I feel like such a crap mum I hate comparing hate it. My partner always compares our son to others children like our friends kids who have siblings or simply just talking. What he forgets is our son can prob do things they can’t and every child is different.
I just get told I’ve got the blinkers on and need to teach him how to speak etc.
we both work but he’s always away for work and tbh I get so exhausted with eveythjng but try my best.
( sorry this turned up being a rant about my partner). I have no one I can speak
To about my sons speech etc my friends don’t seem to understand and keep saying he be ok etc .

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x
