Talking

My daughter is 23 months. She says one word but not 2/3 word sentences. She will talk gibberish. But she understands a lot of what we are saying. Should I be concerned or get her checks out

Do you speak 2 languages at home? I find it's common for babies exposed to more than one language...I'm not a professional, but I'm sure she's okay. Keep reading to her and asking her questions. I also find repeating what they say back to them helps too! If they say 'milk' , you say 'milk? Yes, let's get some more milk' plus the sign language for it too!

I wouldn’t be concerned but I would get her into speech therapy. On average how many words does she know ?

My advice would be to avoid giving her things unless she asks. If she wants a toy or a snack wait till she tells you (gestures count) the words will come when she needs to use them 😊

Ask her doctor at her next visit to see what they think. It’s not something I think you should run out and get her in speech right away but if it’s something the doctor thinks would be good it’s better to get an early start. My thought on it is it’s never going to be bad for them to get extra help

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. 🥺

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.
