How much is your 3 year old boy speaking

Hi ladies. My little boy is a little over 3. He speaks in 3-4/5 word phrases. His vocab is varied. Saying the things he needs. Recently we ran into several girls a little older than him and their speech is far more advanced. His cousin is 6 months younger and her speech is also much more advanced.

Starting to wonder if he should be speaking more? The little girls even made fun of him for not speaking as much as them…just unreal.

Anyways would love some thoughts

Postpartum hair loss

Please help! I’m loosing so much of my hair postpartum, I worry I’m also at risk of loosing more because I had alopecia as a child. Any suggestions of products or things I can do to reduce this? Or do I have to just let this phase pass? Any help is appreciated 💗💗

Car seat

When did people take the new born install out of their car seats, I think it’s time for him to be taken out his just turned 9 weeks but others are telling me he is fine?? I can’t seem to find a weight limit or height limit for the install anywhere just for the car seat in general??

Hand sucking

Anyone else having a problem with their LO hand sucking? I know it's a natural exploration thing and teething thing all babies go through but it's all my 4 month old wants to do! Unless he has a bottle in his mouth all he wants to do is suck his hands to the point of gagging himself. We've tried distracting him with his dummy, teething toys, letting him chew on our hands..we put his mitts on his sleep suits but he shouts at us 😂😂😂 I do let him just get on with it most times but I hate when he makes himself gag

Mam bottles

I don’t know if I’m just being stupid but I expressed around 100ml of breast milk into a storage bag. When I put it into a mam bottle it was under 60ml on their measurements. Now I’m worried I’ve been feeding baby too much or not enough because both are different. Am I looking at the wrong thing? Any advice

Can your partner soothe your little one?

Hiya,

My baby is 11 weeks old and recently she didn’t settle with anyone but me. Has anyone experienced this before? If so how long did it last and is there anything you did to help the situation? I feel bad for my partner.

I need help reshaping my thoughts on my baby potentially sharing a birthday with my mum

My mum and I aren't close, by choice on my part. She's a little unaware and seems to think we're close and she's the best mum ever.

To keep it short, the reality is both my parents were quite abusive and neglectful growing up, now as an adult I struggle to really forgive her. As she's gotten older she's remained quite childish and now I feel like the parent/mature one. She will throw tantrums, cry and guilt trip if things don't go her way, she'll ghost you then act upset a few days/weeks later if you stop trying to reach out. Honestly the whole relationship is exhausting but I try to just keep her happy and keep the peace for the sake of my siblings.

Anyways I'm pregnant wirh our 2nd child and now overdue, however I feel I may give birth in the next day or so! It's really exciting but it's my mums birthday in 2 days and I'm just getting this silly gut feeling that baby will arrive on her birthday.

I just know if it was to happen I'd never hear the end of it, like she'd rub it in in a childish way. I'm trying not to let it bother me because it really doesn't matter but I'd be lying if I said I wish I could choose for baby to be born literally any other day 🥲

I need to just reframe how I think about it tbh, because it's so stupid and doesn't matter. Please help!
