Refuses to say Mama

I am curious is anyone else has this issue. My son has a pretty big vocabulary. He will say Dada and Nana. He will say dog and duck. But refuses to say Mama. Does anyone else have this happening?

My baby stopped saying "daddy" to the point it seemed like she was refusing to say it.
Turns out it's totally normal in the world of linguistics and growing brains. Apparently, they have the word down, so it's been committed to long term memory, but it's no longer part of short-term memory. Until the brain grows a little more and more neuron pathways are built, some words are "lost".
Is that what you're going through? Or did he never really learn it?

mine son 16m only says mama when he’s crying and wanting me to pick him up
but he says dada, hi,hot, fish and hug. his favorite words are “OK Google” but he rarely speaks it’s usually just little noises he makes to say yes or shakes head

mine doesn’t wanna say mama a lot but she does say it lol but I don’t think she knows what it means yet

What to do 😩

My daughter is a side sleeper. I put her down on her back every single time and she rolls onto her side and will fall asleep. She's never rolled over onto her tummy yet but I'm paranoid waiting for the day she can and I won't sleep again until she can fully hold her head up 😩😩😭😭 she's 2 weeks and 5 days old.

I've tried constantly moving her back onto her back, every single time she moves onto her side or fusses until I let her. Once she's on her side she'll drift off into a peaceful sleep. I'm forever constantly checking her to see if she'a breathing or rolled onto her tummy and gotten stuck.

The picture is of the position she will get herself into every time. With her hand under her head. I'm lost for ideas please help 😭😩

No interest in sex

I have NO interest in sex anymore. I'm so touched out and tired by the end of the day i don't want my husband to go anywhere near me. He has gently brought up that i might be struggling a little postpartum. He feels the distance between us and has said he is worried about me. I'm about to be 1 year postpartum with my second baby. Is this normal or should i be seeking professional help?

4 YO refusing nap

My 4YO is taking a hard stance on no napping. I know he’s age appropriate to stop naps but the trouble is him falling asleep at 6PM and sleeping the rest of the night.

Not sure what to do as I navigate this territory.

Ever had these thoughts?

Honestly it breaks my heart thinking about it when the thoughts come up.. but have any of you ever thought to yourself about "maybe my child would be better off with someone else"? I have but mainly because there's so many problems here. He's loved and supported and well fed and healthy. But we have very little money, I can't drive due to medical issues, he has medical issues himself, I'm recently divorced but live with my ex(no where to go)... I'm the main one taking care of him even with others around.

Feeding

How much are all your little ones drinking in a full day? My little girl is 9 weeks tomorrow and drinks between 120-150ml fir each bottle she goes every 3 hours ish but will then tend to go for a long stretch through the night as we give her a bath to settle her for the night. Shes had 750ml for this entire day.

Had sex with husband and now hes agreeable

I mean....we were not intimate for years because I wasnt feeling it but we started being intimate these past two months and boy I tell you. Like a changed man. Is this really how easy it is??
