Speach

Hi all.

Started to stress about my little ones speach 21 months, and only says Mama and dada and babbles so much.
She can wave, give high five, clap hands, give a hand shake, blow kiss, blow Rasberries, blow bubbles. Can do a snake sounds.
She is always smiling when I'm talking/ trying to teach words but never says them. I know all kids do things in their own time. Should I be worried or just wait a little longer?

I went to a drop in session at the speech and language when I was worried and they were able to assess her. Are there any in your area? They seem to have really small waiting lists so hopefully you’ll get seen soon.

I could have written this myself!!! I have no advice as my daughter is the exact same but what I will say is… I try not to let it worry me. She may be considered ‘behind’ in terms of speech but she is the happiest, most confident and curious little girl and what she may lack in speech, she makes up for in different areas! Xx

shower infront of children

Is it weird to shower infront of your children, or your children see you naked?
At what age should this stop?

I’m just looking at what everyone’s thoughts are as I have a 7 month old and at the moment it’s hard for me to shower without him getting upset.

We contact nap atm, otherwise I'd shower when he sleeps!

It’s easier to bring his play mat into the bathroom whilst I shower so i can at least wash, else i have to wait for my husband to arrive home at 5/6pm.

Keen to see what people's opinions are and how other people do this!

GIRL DADS TAKING DAUGHTER TO BATHROOM IN PUBLIC

If a girl dad needs to take his daughter to the bathroom in public and there are no family bathrooms … I swear video online of a dad saying he uses the women’s bathroom but always knocks and announces ‘girl dad helping my daughter go to the bathroom’ and I love that idea and mens rooms are disgusting but wanted to see everyone’s thoughts

Ebf bottle refusal

I want to introduce a bottle so my partner and mum can feed baby every so often but she hates it! Have tried breast milk and formula and am using mam bottles. She also isn’t a fan of dummies. Goal is to give her formula as I hate pumping!

First time using Milton cold water sterliser…

When the 15 mins is up do you just take them out and put them straight back together?
I know it says you can leave them in the solution until use but I don’t want to do that as I have 8 bottles to sterilise and can only fit some at a time.
I have mam bottles but my microwave isn’t tall enough to fit the bigger ones in it to sterilise them🤣 didn’t have this issue with my son as previous microwave was taller🤣
