Still not talking

My son is almost 15 months old and still isn't talking. He babbles a lot and tries to copy words. Anybody else in the same boat?

Yup! There is very few things I can recognise from his babbles but he makes lots of noises and understands things, like getting a book/ball/toy/socks so I'm not worrying. He goes to nursery and they haven't mentioned a concern at all. They are still very young x

My daughter doesn’t really say anything coherent. I can make out a few things. She says dada and mumma and she’ll say babababa when she’s sad. I really don’t think there is anything to worry about, they’re still so so young. There are children a little older than my daughter at her nursery and they aren’t speaking coherently so I wouldn’t worry

Mines not fully talking either! Says mama dada baba etc and can recognise and copy animal sounds (cow, sheep, duck) but no proper words or anything yet! X

My son says “mumma” but it’s not used in context. The only thing he actually says and understands is “bye bye” and he waves with it 😂 but that’s all. I used to work in childcare in the 1-2 room specifically, I always had so many parents question if their child was delayed due to speech. Every time I’d say, just you wait! And almost always, once they hit around 18m they don’t stop talking 😂. But as a parent now, I completely understand their worry’s! It’s so hard once you’re in that position not to worry about it. It will happen and when it does, it will happen fast 😂 it starts with a few words and within weeks it’s non stop lol

My boy don't talk at all, he babbles and with the facial expressions he makes I do believe he thinks he is saying something 😂 but if I will tell him let's put your socks on he will give me his foot or try to out his socks on so I guess he understands so we getting somehwere i guess 🤷‍♀️

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

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!

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
