What words are your 12-13mo saying?

My little girl only says mama and Dat (that) and points. She babbles randomly like a boo, or naynay too.

Every kid is different and I was getting worried because it took him so long to start. He wasn't talking a ton until recently. He can say dada, mama, papa, lala (his aunt), ball, no, up, and can say two animal noises when playing with them: moo and baaa
But he also just started getting the hang of sign language and can do eat, milk, more, all done and up.

All done, bye bye, mama, Dada, up, down, nana (banana), nac nac (snack), ball, go, apple, boop, boo boo for peak a boo, uh oh, night night, moo, oink oink, dog, and a few others that I forget. She's way ahead for her age. My first has a really bad speech delay and my second is way ahead. It does help to have big sis around to help her learn.

She’s really only saying mama right now and baba, and will babble a lot and make weird noises all day. She understands a ton of words and can sign a few things and do lots of gestures but isn’t saying much yet.

Dada, mama, "es" aka yes, "heego" which is her attempt at "here ya go" which we say a lot apparently haha, "duh" for all done

Mama, dada, Esme, Estrella, more, thank you, milk, boobie, water and he tries to say Spider-Man and good morning. He waves hello and bye bye, points, does gesture of no no with his finger, throws kisses to the air, does he’s own way of all done, and just started giving hugs. We only speak Spanish at home so he only speaks Spanish for now

Thanks ladies! Your little ones are doing so great.

My daughter isn’t saying any words yet, just a bit of babbling here and there. Hoping for a first word soon! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Dada, mama, duh (done), es (yes), yeah

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

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.

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?
