Toddler talking gibberish all of the sudden

My toddler is pretty good at talking usually, lately she’s been trying to talk but just gibberish comes out with a few words that I understand. When I try to tell her to repeat herself she will sometimes slows down and tells me what she’s trying to say. She still talks pretty good but I feel like when she’s trying to explain what she wants in longer sentences she starts to talk nonsense. Is this normal? She has been having a hard time going to bed and we’re also trying to potty train, could it all be related? And is she just trying to experiment with sounds idk. First time mom so I don’t know what’s going on😬

My toddler has been the exact same for a couple of weeks, just absolute nonsense coming out of her mouth when usually she just tells me what she needs/wants. I think it’s experimenting with different sounds, I hear her doing it while she’s playing too, it’s like she’s trying to copy how adults have a conversation but doesn’t have the words yet😂 I wouldn’t worry too much, will probably just be a little phase x

My daughter has been doing the same, she can speak in sentences and has done for a while, but she also comes out with absolute gobbledygook a lot at the moment, particularly when she’s singing! It’s like she’s made up her own whole new language sometimes 😂

Yes my daughter does this occasionally. But we think it's natural, probably just experimenting with sounds and language. It's quite nice to hear her do it as she's been talking so well for ages.

Maybe she is just practicing the flow of sentences. My daughter talks in sentences but somtimes mutters away to herself with nonsense (especially in the buggy) and when I ask her what's she is saying she just blushes and goes all shy. I'm sure they are just practicing :)

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
