How many words is your September born 2 year old saying? If using sentences, what kind of sentences/phrases are they using?

I was reading the cdc guidelines for 2.5 year olds (30 month old), and got curious where everyone’s Sept born toddler is at.

Let’s be factual and objective while also keeping in mind all children develop at different paces. No one’s child is by any means better than someone else’s simply because they are saying more/less words. I have a very close friend who didn’t utter a word until after 2 and he’s one of the most intelligent adults I know.

I don’t even have a guess on how many words, but for sentences/phrases she usually does 2 words (Daddy sleeping.) or very recently longer with repeated phrases (I see Mommy eating dinner. I see Mommy cooking.).

My daughter can say like the first two letters out of the three , I can tell she hasn’t quite understood the sound T and G make to finish the word and those letters consist of tongue against teeth to make the sound and that goes for a lot of the words she try’s to sound out , with sentences not yet and her favorite word right now is hi lol I’m trying something’s out each day to see if it helps her along the way !

Mine says about 5 at one time (knows close to 20 I'd say but doesn't say all of them at the same time if that makes sense? It's like 5 for a week then she switches to a different 5 so on) only days two words together such as "thank you" or "*brothers name* no!" Lol

My daughter says alot of words so idk if I could count 😅. She talks in almost complete sentences. She will say like “no we can’t do that” “let’s go to the store/park” “I want juice in my cup” things like that

My girl says tons of words and repeats every word she hears (much to our dismay sometimes lol) and can say 4-6 word sentences/phrases

Somewhere in the hundreds of words? Couldn’t even guess how many hundreds. His pronunciation is quite wonky (and adorable to me, of course) and his grammar isn’t always there, but he says short regular sentences.

“A blue Honda going down town!”, “baby brother need close eyes and go sleep”
“Mama play game upstairs?”

They don’t SOUND like that though, so anyone not close to him can only half comprehend him lol

Mines 76 words, and starting to learn sentences

My girl says a lot of words and using few 2/3 word sentences like “no thank you” “open please” “I love you” “help me please” “shoes on” “coat on” “red car”. She can count and recognise numbers up to 20 and knows and recognises the whole alphabet.

My son has about 25 words, but a lot of them are his own word, not the correct one. Like "babo" is water. He's very resistant to trying to say new words/sounds. He doesn't really put two words together yet either. He'll say "bye Iggy" or "bye baby" sometimes but nothing consistent. He doesn't know his ABCs and only can point out the colors blue and green. 😞 He's been evaluated by early intervention but they said he just needs more time.

My son didn’t say much but after speech therapy he is picking up the pace now

He says way more

Don’t know about number of words, but he says 4-5 word sentences in English. We’re a bilingual family, and he speaks some words in Korean but understands a lot. “Mama stay here in room. I go out front door” is one of his favorite things to say 😂 always trying to break out. He can count to 10, knows most shapes and colors. We just started letter recognition practice by treating letters like animals & matching name and sound of each letter along with recognition.

My son has 250+ words, but still working on pronunciation. I can also understand him better than others because I pick up on how he says certain sounds. His sentence structure varies from simple things like “More cookies” to phrases like “have a good day!” and he repeats pretty much everything he hears like a parrot lol every child is different, but what I believe helped him from our end was constantly narrating everything we were doing. Ex: “Now we are going to unload the dishwasher. We put dishes away when the light is green and the dishes are clean. This is a fork. You eat with a fork. Can you find another fork to help mommy put it away?” It can be exhausting, but I’ve noticed when I’m consistent with it he starts to use some of those words correctly within a few days.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

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? 😅

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

4 month sleep regression

Does anyone else feel like they’re back in the newborn trenches through the 4 month sleep regression ?? 😭😭 my boy turned 4 months yesterday and the past 3 nights he’s woken up every 20-40 minutes. He does manage to get back off to sleep after I give him his dummy. It’s so strange though because his daytime naps don’t seem to be affected? He has 2 x long naps a day (around 2 hours) and a couple 30-40 minutes here and there and seems fine during them, it’s just his night time sleep! I read it can last for 6 weeks, I pray it doesn’t because I am shattered 🤣🤣
