I started tracking my little one at the 1-year mark to make sure he wasn't falling behind but then stopped tracking after he hit over 140 words at the 15-month mark, and started to do sentences. Now we have to be very conscious about what we say near him bc he's good at repeating whole sentences back

Speech therapist here! At 18 months you want at least 50 words and for them to be starting to combine two words (eg more nana, bye dada). Early intervention through the state is free for under 3 if you have concerns :)

My son is on the higher side for vocabulary and I stopped counting 😅 he uses 2-4 word phrases (almost 19m)

I’d say 20. I seen his doctor last week and told her I had read online that he should be saying 50 or more. She said not to worry. If he’s at least trying and babbling he’s doing what he should be doing. He’s 19m

Mine is saying less than 50 so got her signed up for early intervention. They have super great resources I am excited for us both to learn from

I stopped counting around 100 😂 she’s a sponge right now, she learns so much every day. We’re getting into basic sentences “I want swing,” “read to me,” “hi mama/dada” etc.

My son is needing early intervention! He only says about 10 words and he doesn’t know how to properly use them. Every child is different

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....

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.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help
