Speech

My little one is due his 2 year check and his nursery key worker said that she would prepare a report for us to take. She said the only main concern is his speech which I really do not understand as my son can speak over 100 words and name items from books etc. He can also put words together saying things like 'blue bus' 'where has doggy gone?' 'There it is'
Does this sound concerning to anyone else?

That sounds more than on track. have you had the questionnaire from the health visitor? Maybe go speak to nursery before the appt

Yeah I have had the questionnaire and I think he can do most of the speech ones.

Sounds like your little one is more than on track with speech if he can form 3/4 word sentences. Maybe he is not as talkative at nursery maybe? Doesn’t sound like something of concern x

My son speaks way more at home than he does at nursery - could be that?

Is he maybe quiet at nursery? My daughter (who was 2 on the 29th August) will have full on conversations with her dad and me but she barely says anything at nursery. Like the other day she fell over running round at nursery and when I picked her up she said to me “mummy I falled over and hurt my lip” and I was like “oh no is it okay now” and she replied with “it hurts” and nursery were like she doesn’t have conversations like that here 😂.

This seems like a great amount of speech. My LO only has around 10 words and we have started speech and language referral

I really wouldn’t worry. We have our check last week and my daughter still only has a few single words and our HV said it’s nothing to be too worried by at the minute, only if she doesn’t develop more words until around 2.5 should we be worried. If they’re understanding what we’re saying then that’s the main things atm, the words will follow.

Did you ask her to elaborate what the concern about his speech actually is?

Hard to say if it sounds concerning without knowing what the actual concern is.

Like everyone else mentioned - it’s probably due to being quiet at nursery. I believe it’s same with my daughter - it’s her personality rather than language skills.

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? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

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.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
