Has anyone's toddler gone backwards with speaking

My son used to speak extremely clearly and knew lots of words but now he just babbles and makes noises. I am unsure if it's because he's started nursery or because of his younger sister but it seems like as the next month comes he's going backwards development wise. Has anyone got any advice?

Baby making weird sounds

I’m not sure whether I’m being dramatic or if it is a genuine concern I should be having, my four month old stayed at my MIL home for one night last week ( they have a dog ) since he’s come back he’s been making panting/ wheezing sounds every now and then, it isn’t constant but it’s like he’s imitating a dog?😂…

Should I b...

His s...
