How “well” are you little ones talking now as they hit 3 years old?

Can they express all their needs? Answer questions well? Most people understand what they’re saying? Do they still babble a bit? What things do they still get wrong? Just need some insight as I’m an overthinker.

My 3 year old is very very VERY verbal, says everything and can have a proper conversation with everyone that he comes across. He has been talking very fluently from very young though so that might contribute to it x

My little one talks very well and clearly with a good vocabulary, understood by people around us.. still not great with colours. Shes not started nursery yet.. I know these things will come so I’m not worried, just keep encouraging her learning and each day 🙂

Mine still babbles and can express his needs. He can’t hold a long conversation without babbling

My little girl got referred to speech and language. We had one appointment and now all she does is talk but the speech and language person hasn’t discharged her yet and will see her again as she can’t string three words together just yet. But it was amazing the improvement overnight from one session and all they did was play games 😂

My son has full conversations and doesn’t babble. He was slow to start but then it all came very fast ☺️

My little girl doesn't stop talking. She mostly speaks grammatically correct sentences

Peace of mind please

I shot up at 4am last night and had the urge to check my little boy who sleeps in a cot next to our bed.
For the first time he has rolled over and was sleeping on his stomach, my heart dropped.
I was so scared that I picked him up to make sure he was okay and he was just sound asleep…

What are we supposed to do if they roll over in their sleep?! He’s almost 6 months old and I’m prettified of him rolling and it being a different outcome if I don’t wake up..

Just need some peace of mind that this is
okay?

6m old not sleeping

My 6m old won’t sleep. He goes bed at 8/8.30. He’ll sleep until 3am and then he just wakes up like he’s ready for the day.
He’s not hungry, cold, too hot, not teething ect but it’s been going on for about a week. He then won’t go back to sleep until 5ish then he wakes every single morning at 7 on the dot. I’m exhausted. Anyone got any tips on helping this because he’s then so mardy throughout the day due to lack of sleep.

Moving 18 week old to her own room

Just looking for some advice really. I know at this age (18 weeks) she will most likely be going through sleep regression BUT I have been thinking for a while now about the time to put her in her own cot.. she’s in a next to me one at the moment and is constantly hitting the sides with her feet and she’s waking up so so much! Has any other mums moved their babies to their own room?

We have the owlet sock and camera so of course would keep an eye on her and I’m planning on sleeping in the room with her to begin with just to see if she sleeps any better. I know it’s advised 6 months due to SIDS but feel as though we would all get better sleep

I don’t really know what to do as me and my partner are EXHAUSTED

P.s she does nap through the day really well in her own bed so she is used to it

How are you BOTH getting sleep with a newborn?! 😴

Hey mamas 🤍

Looking for any advice or tips on how to protect a few hours of sleep for both me and my partner 🙏

We have a 5-week-old who usually wakes around 12/1/2am (depending on bedtime), and then again around 3/4/5am. My partner works from 7am to 5pm usually, so evenings can feel a bit full-on, and nights are quite broken at the moment (which I understand is quite normal!).

We’re combi feeding, as in the baby has expressed breast milk during the day, and we switch to formula overnight.

Would love to hear what’s worked for you from shifts, routines, anything that helped you both get a bit more rest 💭✨

Crawling

Has any of October babies started crawling

Colic Baby

Anyone else have a colic baby? If so how do you cope with it and get your sleep in? I’ve tried everything under the sun, on top of this he’s cluster feeding like hell.
