Talking at 2?

I see a lot of people on here talking about needing help and support with their toddlers because they’re struggling with sleep, naps and food, my LO is doing all them well and their fine and gross motor skills seem to be at the right stage but he is currently in his third speech regression, fist time he had 5 words at around 1 and then lost them words, spoke again at 16 months with completely different words and lost them, then now is saying a couple of random words but in context I.e purple for purple, bubble for bubbles, but doesn’t say like mama or dada or other common and expected words 🫠 any one in a similar boat?

My little girl is 22 months soon to be 23 she can now say 65 words but you have to ask her to say them. The main words she'll use off her own back is baby, hiii, dada, muma, yeah, wow. Took my LG ages to say muma and dada but her first word was quack quack 🤣 it's honestly a crazy ride and I'm constantly comparing to others which I'm learning not too

Not comparing to anyone, bec if I did (like to the mama above) I would feel heavily depressed. My daughter says probs 5 words, same words since 1yo. We are bilingual family where we constantly speak both languages and she understands shockingly well, like when we talk about things she listens and points or shows us what we talking about. Just doesn't talk. But I am completely chilled. My cousin's daughter started talking well past 3, and in sentences past 3.5yrs old. Yes some bilingual or even trilingual kids talk quick, but that's more of an exception than a rule.

Confused about sterile bottles

This may sound silly, but I’m a FTM so any advice would be appreciated 🥹
My baby is 11 days old, and at some point I would like to start going out more but I’m confused how the bottles will be sterile in a bag, I currently use the Tommee Tippee bottles and the Tommee Tippee UV steriliser but I read once they are out the steriliser they aren’t sterile anymore? Maybe I’m misunderstanding it. Just wanted some advice on what other people do 😊

Sleep training

We’re in the gutter of the 4 month regression. My son wakes up ever hour at night screaming. We cosleep and that has made zero difference. He doesn’t always wake up to eat sometimes he just wants us to walk him. I feel like im going insane havent slept in three weeks now. During the day he only does contact naps. Next week im going to try to get to stop doing the contact naps but im terrified that hes going to go crazy and sleep will be even worse. I’m going to do the Ferber method week. I need encouragement and tips and tricks if you have any!

Side sleeping

My 8 week baby is constantly getting him self onto his side to sleep ever since we stopped swaddling even if I put him flat on his back or reposition he immediately go right back. Is this safe for him

Friendship

PLEASE someone tell me if im in the wrong.
So I got married had a baby and moved to a city 1 hr 30 mins from my friends and family. During pregnancy I had really bad anxiety I couldn’t leave the house much so I wasn’t seeing friends much as I would get anxious going on public transport and being away from home (it was a reallyl strange feeling as id never felt like this). On top of this I isolated a lot where I wouldn’t message/call people a lot. My family would constantly be in contact and maybe one friend would also try stay connected to me. Despite this I always felt connected to my friends . Anyways so after giving birth two friends visited one came with gifts. Now I’m more comfortable travelling to my hometown and then visiting other close friends.

So far my other friends have met my baby at 8 months. I initiated the meet up, no gifts, no questions about birth, pregnancy, motherhood etc. I can understand the no contact from my side made it seem like I didn’t want them coming over or knowing about my baby BUT I still feel horrible knowing no one was excited to see my baby. No one’s been asking about her or wanting to spoil her or asking to visit her. Basically talking to me like nothings changed in my life. None of my friends have children and I’ve been telling myself maybe they just don’t understand how much my daughter means to me and how much I’d love them being so interested in getting to know her.

Side note but did anyone else struggle to keep on top of messaging and FaceTiming friends ?
