Speech

My LG is 2 and ive had a number of people mention that she seems behind developmentally, she can say single words but doesnt say 2 words together, she has done so she can and is capable i think she just either choses not to or perhaps another reason im not sure.
It started to be more apparent to me now when where at baby groups and when i pick her up at nursery when shes around a lot of kods her age that she doesnt say me and babbles more then anything. Shes not had her 2-2 1/2 yr check up yet, anyone elses LO doing the same? Is this something to be concerned about? Does she have a speech delay or is it still to early to tell?

Any suggestions on helping encourage with her speech.

My son is 2 on Monday here and he just babbles. He understands everything you say. He soaks it all in, but he just doesn’t try to say words. He can say go away the odd time and mama and dada but when he wants too say it. I don’t think it is anything to worry about. My health visitor when she saw my son for his 1 year review said that they usually see children starting to talk around 2 years and 4 months this is why they wait until this age to do the reviews. But I am in the exact same boat as you are. X

My sister's baby was born January 2023 and he only says a few words and mainly babbles. At his 2 year check they said it wasn't a concern yet as he was saying some words and had a good understanding when being spoken too

Flash cards, foam numbers too repetition and talking clear to her asking her questions etc just constantly repeat she will get there xx

Ours has only just started to add a second and occasionally third word

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

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?

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.

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.
