Baby stopped cooing

My 6 month old had stopped cooing/squealing for almost 2 months now. She just grunts and makes mmm sounds. First we thought she was focusing on rolling but it’s been a month after rolling and her cooing is not back. I’ve talked to her pediatrician and they were not concerned since she is still making sounds and has good eye contact. I’m not sure if anyone’s baby has stopped being vocal and found their voices back. I miss my baby’s cooing so so much.

usually once babies learn something they don’t go back to it, my son used to say “ga” and “ba” nonstop but now he’s on to screeching and saying “mama”.. it’ll come back!! he says “ga”and “ba” every now and then but definitely not as much as he did when he first learned it, same with “ah”

My baby did this now she’s squealing and saying ahhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh so I’ll copy her the first time and she’ll do it back and then I’ll add ahhhhhhhdaaaaaaaa so she can learn daaaaa so she can say dada

My babes did the same thing, she still babbles and squeals, but not as much. She is learning new things every day though that I think might occupy her mind more 😂

So she sometimes will grunt with her mouth open and make aaaah sounds. But beside that, no happy sounds. She doesn’t even care to do back and fort cooing with me anymore. I look it up and the regression with new skill shouldn’t last for more than 1-2 weeks. I’m a ftm so I don’t know what to expect or if the sounds she is making now count as cooing.

I can also say that for a while they will say the same sound then stop and focus on something else. Sometimes babies focus more on their stronger skills if you are focusing on rolling that’s more physical and once she feels she has mastered that she might go back to language in the next leap. Try not to worry when they get to 10 months or so you will start to see the integration of skills. My son was always language focused and he didn’t start rolling till 5.5 months- I was so worried. But no he’s walking and talking happy 18 month old. Xx

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

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?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
