Toddler doesn’t know colors?

Okay so my daughter is very smart in alot of ways, she is 1yr 8 months. She can count to 10 with help, say all abcs with help, knows animals and some sounds, says tons of words, knows all body parts but to her EVERY color is either purple or is this normal? 💀 I will literally show her a color yellow for example and ask what color it is and she says pink, I correct her and say no its yellow and then she will repeat yellow then I ask again what color it is and again she says pink 🤦🏽‍♀️😑

She might be color blind. It’s a lot more common than you think… off the top of my head she should be old enough to do a test most likely your pediatrician can do it if not, then of course an eye doctor

agree!

I think Under 2 is a little early to know colors when asked. My son did this when he was 2. Then he could identify secondary colors first which I thought was weird and I hadn’t really been focusing on teaching those. He couldn’t identify primary colors for awhile. I think it’s too early to be concerned.

She’s way too young to be worried about any of this. My daughter turned two in November and still say every thing is purple and pink- probably because it’s her favorite colors.

What wrong with my baby

So I’m calling doctors tomorrow but just wanna check in here see if anyone knows what’s wrong. My daughter is 5 months old and in the past 2 weeks she’s started making these noises like she struggling for breath it doesn’t seem to bother her much and I thought it was bc she was getting excited before as it does happen when she’s exited but it’s started to get random she could be just sat there and it happen anyone know what’s could’ve going on !

First birthday party timing

What’s the best timing for a first birthday party? (Garden party at home)
Currently 9.5m old, on 2 naps roughly 9 & 13:00. Thinking 11:00-14:00? Is it likely they will drop to 1 nap by then?

My baby is not even 4 days old and loves to roll on his left side to sleep.

No matter how many time I correct him back on his back he still rolls over. Should I be concerned? His bassinet isn’t wide enough for him to fully roll. When he side lays he can’t go farther than that.

I’m just wondering if any of your health visitors have made you feel like you’re not doing a good job as a mum by asking questions?

At what age did your baby start using pillows and duvet?

Perhaps a silly question, but as a FTM, I'm not sure when I should introduce my baby to sleep with a pillow and duvet. He is going to turn 12 months soon and that thought just came to my mind- I have no idea when it should happen!

What tog number is the recommend one?
