Speech therapy?
My son is 20 months old, and the only words he says are mama, our dog’s name, bubba (his nickname), and yeah yeah for yes. He also does some animal sounds, uses sign language for more, eat, all done, and help, and he points to things he wants. He understands most of what I say, but he’s just not saying many words yet.
I feel like at his age he should be saying more, so I’m considering speech therapy. Have any moms had experience with speech therapy for their little ones, or have any advice? 🤍

We’re starting therapy this coming Monday at 17 months. I figure it’s better to get some fresh ideas on how to get them to express themselves more then playing the wait and see game. Keep an open mind and see if you can get an evaluation. They’ll either see room for improvement or say that he’s doing just fine and to keep doing the great work.
We are the same! Lot's of good understanding but very few words, lots of sounds and mostly gestures/makaton! Our LB is now 22 months but we self referred to speech therapy in June of this year so he was around 19 months then. We haven't seen very much progression in the last few months, it's always good to get the insight from professionals and it will put your mind at ease
I have, my kiddo started speech therapy at 18 months and it has been AMAZING for my son and so helpful for me and my partner to guide us on how to best support our kiddo.
I am a HUGE advocate for early intervention, the earlier the better.

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 😊

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

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!
