Speech

My lb is 2 next week and still barely any speech it’s becoming very concerning he can understand us he copies actions that people do like at the music group he goes to he copies the teacher with certain moves he will go get his shoes when asked etc but he just won’t talk ! He says muma and dada and nana but not often enough I would say we had yeah or yay this morning but should I be worried is he ok what would be next steps I spoke to health visitor and they sent through things to try and help which I’m doing and I feel like he can hear as he looks when I call his name and he looks in direction of sounds so don’t think he would have glue ear ?

My little one is nearly 2 years he can’t talk yet he says mama and dada and nanna and grandad and yeah but apart from that xxx

Are you concerned about it at all ?? X

Yeah it does worry me but I’ve got health visitor due soon so I’m gunna tell her xx

Ask for a referral for a hearing check. My little one is the same and it’s turned out the issue is glue ear and we are waiting for grommets but will have a hearing aid in the meantime

thank you can your little one hear other things though like his name and other sounds cos my lb can which makes me think not glue ear but no idea 🤷‍♀️ x

He can on occasions, it really depends for as if there is a lot going on in the same room then no. But if the room is quiet then yes

can I ask how long you’ve been waiting for the grommet surgery? X

Only 2 months but the list is 12 month wait

Hiya, just had our audiology test not expecting anything to come back from it as he says the same words yours does and responds to his name and sounds etc but it turns out he does have glue ear in both ears! They’re going to wait till he’s 2 and then get him on the list for grommits if it hasn’t cleared up so definitely worth going, I feel really bad I didn’t realise he had a bit of hearing loss, it was only the low frequencies he didn’t respond to, talking level etc was fine!

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!

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.

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 🙂

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.

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.

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
