Baby Babbling/Sounds at 7.5 months old?

I’m panicking a little bit about my babies babbling. They coo (did this early on) and make “oooo” and “mmmm” sounds when concentrating but no real “baba” sounds or “da-da-da.” They are making raspberries and been doing this for a little while, but think I’m just worrying! They are 7 months and 2 weeks old at the moment but were born around 3 weeks early. Not sure if they should be hitting more milestones to do with speaking at this stage, or if I need to be more patient. Just wondering if anyone has a similar experience?😊

My lO is pretty much the exact same age also born early (4 weeks) and he is exactly the same!

My baby boy is not doing any babbling either and my oldest daughter was doing all mama /dada at 7.5 m and clapping hands but i think boys are different as they want to move more instead being vocal

Aww thank you both so much!!! Yes I feel like he’s much more into moving/shuffling around atm!! Xx

My LO is almost eight months old and still no real signs of babbling. Sometimes it sounds like he's saying "mama" and I get excited but it's just him making noises and exploring his voice. 😅

LO is 8 months and no signs of any babbling or anything other than a really high pitch squeal which she finds very funny when she’s doing it in the middle of the shopping centre 🤣

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
