14 month old not talking yet.

Hi mommas, my girl turned 14 month old today and hasn’t started talking yet. Do I need to be concerned? Should I be looking for a speech therapist?

Hey my son just turned 15 months and he’s not talking either and we just saw the paediatrician. They said as long as they’re making noises and seem to understand some language then they’re not worried. For example do they turn when you call their name? (Usually, probably not all the time because they’re toddlers so)

You can always get an evaluation done for a speech therapist. Early intervention is best. We waited until our son was 2 to get him help because my bf was convinced he would “eventually talk” but never did. He’s 4.5 now and has been in speech therapy since he was 2.5

My girl is almost 14 months. She isn't talking yet either. But she babbles non sense all day. She knows what she is saying, but just no actual words. Her receptive language is good so I am not concerned.

I think at 1 year they should have at least 25 words in their vocabulary. I would definitely ask for an evaluation. It never hurts to ask and find out because finding ANY problem or issue early is always better than finding it later. Even if they say nothing is wrong, I'd find out. They should definitely be saying some words by a year old.

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!

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

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 🙂

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.

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.
