No babbling

Guys I’m so sad. My 7 month old still has not tried to babble. No baba Gaga dada. Just start squealing and ahhh. He’s isn’t super chatty either 😩 I’m trying hard to encourage babble but I feel like he just stares at me and crack up laugh in my face 😂

I can see how that would make you sad. You’re not alone! ❤️

My lo will be 7 months tomorrow. She doesn’t babble nor does she belly laugh. She will laugh maybe once and that’s it. She also screams. Ear piercing screams.

Does he seem like he can hear you guys when you talk and do things? Like if you clap or talk to him will he turn his head toward the sound?

Avatar

yes , if I drop something, clap and he’s not super focus on anything. He will turn and look. He looks when I call his name, something I gotta call 4/5 times sometimes just once. But he usually looks smile and then re look at what he was looking at before.

Okay I was going to say you might want to go to pediatrician just to make sure he doesn’t have a developmental delay in his hearing, but if he’s responding to things, then he could just be not be a babbler, still if you’re worried or upset you could always just ask the pediatrician for some reassurance ❤️❤️

I don’t read as much as I use to. But I talk to him all the time and he’s in a center daycare. They said they talk to him all the time as well.

My 6.5 month old isn’t babbling yet. There’s a range for each skill remember. I’ve looked it up and a lot of people on Reddit have said similar things at this age and said their baby didn’t start until around 8 months

I read to my baby every night, she is very vocal but doesn’t babble consistently. Doctor is not concerned until they’re 9 months and aren’t babbling. My daughter is almost 8 months old. Babies prioritize motor skills or cognitive skills. They can’t do both at the same time. Is your baby ahead of the game with things like sitting, grabbing toys, clapping, etc?

Avatar

he’s sitting up mostly with no support now. I think he wants to learn how to crawl due to him trying to move around on my bed. Also I’m starting to see him kinda trying to climb or trying to get my leg strength to stand.

fingers crossed it’s stressing me out

My first daughter didn’t really start babbling (baba dada mama) until 8ish months, I was so worried and once she started she didn’t stop. She is now 3 and has super advanced speech.

Her cousin (a month younger) started babbling way before her which made me spiral even more and he had a little bit of a speech delay.

All this to say, it’s a range, try not to stress (I know it’s impossible) and keep an eye on it and talk to the doc w any concerns! Chances are it will come anyday 🤍

Avatar

Yes! Exactly. They prioritize different things are they come! It’s tough learning and growing at this rate

Avatar

Yea it stresses me out because of the fact that my middle child has ASD

Avatar

My baby’s pediatrician wasn’t worried when I saw her last week and she said just keep reading to her and talking and it’ll happen

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.
