Words
How many words are your toddlers saying? I’m a little worried. 16 Months and can say mama, dad, aw. Will will sometimes say quack if you asked what a duck does and again roar if you ask what a lion does. Attempts to say woof but again all very rare. Mama and dad are the only consistent words

We’ve started to do animal noises, and using word cards and repetition helps I find - the more you speak to them they will pick it up over time
My girl says ‘yeah’ on occasion but it’s mostly just babbling
Is your little one walking? Im told they are usually either walkers or talkers, my eldest was a talker, lots of words but didnt walk until 18 months and it seems the baby is the same, he's chatty but not yet walking. They do all develop at their own pace
My girl only has a handful of words but she understands a lot :)
Mama, yeah and bye bye
More words will come. Imagine who doesn’t talk later in life. It might take her a bit longer

Sleep training
Everyone on Instagram promoting sleep training either tends to charge for their course or says to ‘comment’ for their guide which in turn doesn’t really help much.
Anyone know of anyone actually giving advice on sleep training?

Gut feeling
I’m trying to get my mind right, trying to find something to take my mind off this got feeling I’m having that something just isn’t right and when I have this feeling I’ve never been wrong. And I just want to not think about what it could possibly need cause I know once I find out it will not be pleasant. How do you shake your worries and this gut feeling?

5am wake ups
My 2 year old keeps waking up at 5am and is cranky and tired enough that she wants to go back to sleep but needs lots of cuddles. But because by this point sleep pressure is low she’s takes over an hour to resettle and fall back to sleep. By this point my alarm is going off 6:15am for work 😖😩
She used to wake up nicely around 7am and we’d all be a lot calmer and have breakfast together but now I’m either letting her sleep in a bit so she’s not over tired and there’s always a big rush to get out the door.
Any tips?
She goes to bed at 8-8:30pm naps around 1pm for 1h-1h:30m

Sleeping tips for newborns?
Hi moms!
How are your babies sleeping, especially those under 3 months?
My almost 8-week-old baby sleeps for hours in my arms, on my chest, or in the carrier, even while I’m moving around doing chores. But the moment I transfer him to his bassinet, he starts grunting, wiggling, and wakes up and starts crying.
I can spend up to 2 hours trying to get him to nap in his bassinet, and he still doesn’t fall asleep. By then, his next feeding is already coming up, and he hasn’t napped at all! 😩
At night, he sleeps much more peacefully when we bed-share. I’ve also noticed that he’s calm and quiet on my chest but much noisier and more restless in his bassinet.
I’d love to hear your real-life experiences!
What actually helped your baby sleep in their bassinet? Do you use a special swaddle, a particular type of bassinet, or any tricks to make the transfer easier?

Colicy Newborn
I’m a first time mom and my newborn is about 4 weeks now and began being fussy and just about inconsolable around 2 weeks. Most days he doesn’t nap or sleep at all during the day and is crying just about all day. I can’t put him down without him crying & if i’m lucky on the days he does nap he’s down for about 2-3 hours. I was told newborns sleep most of the day and have “wake windows” but mine doesn’t at all. He’s fed, changed & burped but will cry from morning to night and I spend my days holding and rocking him. Any tips?
