Speech

Hey! My son just turned two April 4 and he is still only saying Mom and Dad he babbles but he's really not saying anything else every once in a while he'll say like a random word here and there but that's about it. Anyone else's two year-old not speaking I spoke with his pediatrician about it today, but I just kinda need some peace of mind.. nowadays everyone has to put a label on your child if they're not developing in certain ways he understands everything that you were saying to him and if he wants something, he'll grab my hand and walk me to it and point he just won't verbally say it and I just want to see if there's any other mamas out there who's two-year-olds aren't saying much? Here's a picture of my little cutie.🥰

Mine turns 2 in a week, and up until the last couple of weeks, he wasn’t saying much. Last couple of weeks it’s been a new word almost everyday out of the blue and even put two words together. Your son might be just around the corner from talking like crazy !

My son is turning 2 and also doesn’t say much - he’s been in early intervention for development intervention and occupational therapy for several months now and there’s been some improvement but he’s still behind and will be starting speech specific therapy soon. ALL kids go at their own pace and while it’s hard to not compare other kids with yours (mine STILL won’t say “momma” which is unbelievably hard) please try not to! I know a few adults now who were very late talkers and they’re completely normal, productive adults out in society. Do your due diligence and advocate for your kid, there are a lot of resources to use, but I’m SURE your little guy is gonna be A-OK!!!

mine (end of april baby) is also on a similar track as yours. my pediatrician said its not a big deal because she is saying words, it would be concerning if she wasnt communicating at all. i really wouldn’t be too concerned until 3/4 years old.

Normal?

Hey guys I need help with knowing if this is normal.

My first born son was the easiest baby ever. Rarely cried at all!
My second born cries about everything. His diaper changes are traumatic because he won’t let you do it and the only way to get a diaper done is to pin him down (we’ve given him our phone, toys, chewies, sang to him, silly faces, played with him- he will not let a diaper change happen at all and just screams)
He won’t let us wipe his hands after mealtime he screams and flales.

You can’t distract him once he works himself up.

At the beginning I was like “this is normal” but now he’s 10.5 months and still screams every diaper change and hand wipe

Is this normal?

Bed time/ wake time

I have a five month old and really trying to figure out what time I should be putting her to bed. She wakes up at like 6:30am which is too early for me 😅

Any advice or mums who’ve figured it out?

Bedtime Advice Please

Hi,
Im a first time mum to a 6 week old. I’ve seen a lot of people say their baby sleeps longer stretches than mine. Since she was born, in the evening we’ve put her down in her Moses basket in the living room until me and my partner go upstairs to bed. She’s waking up 3 times in the night. Would she be better at sleeping if I put her down in the next to me upstairs earlier in evening with baby monitor and get her in more of a routine every night?
I don’t know if I’m being stupid but I think maybe if she’s in more of a set routine sooner rather than later it would be best?

Formula fed question

How much does your 11 week old baby get fed and how often?

Quick PSA

Don’t be a fool like me! Before you run upstairs to have a quickie with your husband make sure your baby monitor receiver is turned off so the whole rest of your house doesn’t hear ur shenanigans. 🫠🫠🫠
