Speech

What age do we say there is a speech delay? My July baby says about 5 words at the moment and I’m constantly seeing posters worried their child is only saying 30+?? This is what is worrying me now

9 month milestones - behind

Please can anyone let me know if they’re in a similar boat.. my baby is 9.5 months old. Is hardly interested in food, I’ve tried BLW, spoon feeding, loading the spoon etc. she’s very hit and miss with food but I’d say 80% of the time has about two mouthfuls. She’s also not pulling to stand, can’t get into a seated...

How to deal with tantrums from weaning?

So I’m trying to wean my son off from breastfeeding to sleep. He currently only breastfeeds to sleep, but I’m starting to lessen the frequency…not successfully though. So how do I deal with his tantrums? Do I leave him to scream until he stops? Do I bribe him with other treats? Play something on tv? Any advice i...

How many words/sentences are your 17 months old saying?

My LG just turned 17 months and can say 30 words, and a few sentences of two or three words. She doesn't go to nursery yet, but will be attending a private one come June next year, but I had a few Mums saying she's behind for nursery age? I just don't see how to be honest! Just curious!

10/11 Month - not yet crawling or trying to pull himself up to stand.

Hello! My LB is 10/nearly 11 months and doesn’t crawl, he shows signs to but doesn’t and just falls foward or sideways and rolls. He is not fussed to pull himself up. If I stand him up with support he loves it and holds on the edge of the sofa. But should I be worried? I know every baby is different, but any help/...

Hand, foot and mouth

My baby has hand foot and mouth and won’t eat, is tired but screaming when we go near her bedroom for naps and night sleep. Is it really painful for them or does this seem extreme and need GP? Has anyone else had it?

Any mamas with high needs/highly sensitive babies?

How did y’all know that your babies were high needs/highly sensitive? My 7m old seems like one ever since he turned 4months old and I’m looking for support on how to keep baby happy and reduce fussiness in general? Cuz this lil dude can scream as if all he’ll braking loose and I’m quite triggered by it. It hurts my...

1yr old not saying mama

My son is 1 and he doesn’t call me mama or even try to say it…..he knows I’m his mom and when I ask him to bring something to mama he does, so I know he knows who I am to him but for some reason he doesn’t say the word. He says dada and other words but when I ask him to say mama he doesn’t. Also I have 2 older step ...

I know all Children are different but I see other children copying words or being able to say two words together etc and she just doesn’t?

Walking vs crawling with pets

Did anyone else who had pets have a baby that seemed to wait to walk. Our girl just turned 11 months and still hasn’t started walking. She is able to cruise from one point to another, but doesn’t want to actually walk. We have 4 dogs and a cat, and this chick crawls super fast and tries to chase the dogs. Does a...

Toddler is a simmering volcano

Please tell me this gets better lol! My toddler boy (3 years 3 months), seems like he is a volcano about to explode all the time. If we don't say or do the right thing it's tantrums, whining, and/or crying. We are obviously standing firm with boundaries and rules, but at what age does this get better?? I feel like I...
