Speech

At what age did your sons speech really come on? My 1.5 year old can probably say about 8 words but I’m wondering when he’ll be in full flow talking like is it just going to happen overnight?

It will come. Just keep reading and talking a lot to him. If you are very worried, let the health visitor know during his 18 months assessment. Although they might say he's still too young to determine if he's not going fast.

My 3 year old is only just speaking well now. But the younger one is moving faster.

All kids really develop at their pace.

Our son new about 25-30 words at 18m. He is turning 2 this month and can say probably 115 words now and a few short sentence:
- where did it go
- it’s over there
- mommy/dads coming back
- what happened
- where are you
- more X please (more milk, airplanes, trucks, strawberries, etc)
- help please
- here you go
- mamas turn
- it’s mine

He’s been putting more and more words together.

Some of these started a couple of months ago. But I feel like it really does just happen overnight.

Milestones

Hi mums,

I am wondering on your baby’s age and their current milestones?

My little one is now 7 months old and still can only roll that’s it.

Brushing teeth at night?

For those whose babies have teeth - how are you brushing their teeth at night? My baby still falls asleep on the bottle so I've been doing his final brush before that, but thinking I need to figure out how to brush his teeth post bottle, even if he's asleep

Baby bouncer opinions?

Hey mamis! I’m looking to buy a baby bouncer and I saw the Baby Bjorn one but unfortunately is a little outside my budget. Does anyone know about a baby bouncer that’s good, can carry a 2month old 10pounds almost 11 pounds and is safe?
