16 month old only says cat and mama

How many words do your babies have? My baby is bilingual (or will be), she understands so much, but only has a couple of words.

Quite a few but it really depends on the baby. Mine have all been different. My last is 14 months old. Soon to be 15. Also bilingual but ... Not walking yet! They can't do it all, don't worry x

He can say probably 50 words ish but not regularly and maybe two, two word sentences. He's considered behind by the HV team both cognitively and verbally.

Yep. It's because he dosnt really follow instructions. He's getting better at it. But we were referred to speech therapy. 🤷

He dosnt talk much even with 50 words, dosnt refer to me as mama or my husband as dada but can point to the cat and say cat. Didn't say a word at the appointment at all!

I have written down everything he can say that is clear.

Yeah it was the last one. They did the questionnaire thingy. She had a trainee with her. Everything else he's exceptional at. I did tell them he has glue ear. He's under the audiology department for that. Im just kinda going along with what they are saying and nodding. It could be that they are checking everything is ok because of his glue ear. 🤷

Everyone else who's commented here seems unconcerned especially seen as your little one is bilingual.

Baby doll

Anyone get their son a baby doll? Did they love it?
Thinking of getting mine one for christmas as he's gravitated towards one a couple of times at a toddler group. For context my son will be 18 months, nearly 19 months at Christmas.

Travelling with a 1 year old

Can I put a car seat in the front passenger seat for travelling with my baby?! He hates the car and just cries if he’s in the back by himself. I have family 4 hours drive away and I have to do the travel alone most of the time. It’s so stressful and exhausting trying to entertain him and I can’t just let him cry. How do you travel with a baby who hates the car? 😩

Sleepless nights due baby nonstop crying on and off for over 2/3 hours

I’m literally at breaking point, with my baby, his 3 week old and there’s some nights where he will do a screaming party in the early hours of the morning and it’s nonstop crying and I feel like a awful mum for it, I try everything to settle him and he not having none of it, and when I got my son checked at hospital because I was so worried they said he was healthy which is good news that he healthy just feel deflated and hopeless mum, and it’s destroying my mental health, at the minute.
I don’t remember my oldest boy being anything like this, I remember doing feeds and he’d stay up but not the screaming constantly.

How often are we changing sleepsuit?

If baby isn’t spitting up / having poop explosions and their sleepsuit is fine, how often are we changing them into a fresh one?

Are we changing them daily? I have been doing so but my husband thinks it’s pointless to change them into clean clothes if their outfit hasn’t got messy or dirty

Baby sleeping throughout the night! 😴

First time mum here looking for advice my baby is 3 weeks and I was wondering when we don’t need to wake him up every 4 hours for a feed during the night. Most nights I’m waking him up to feed. He’s above his birth weight now. So I was wondering what the advice is on this as I’ve been told different things.

Dummies

Anyone using a dummy yet for their LO?

My eldest had one until she was 2 and it was a lifesaver as she struggled to get to sleep.

Our 6 week old has been so fussy today and nothing would calm her or her her to sleep. Tried a dummy and she's definitely taken to it.

I was going to try avoid it this time round but think we may give her one for naps and sleep.
