7 month old

Her doctor was very impressed how…

18/19 month old

Does your 18/nearly 19 month old say some words? Mine says about 5/6 words including mama and dada. Otherwise its toddler babble. He understands instructions and what I’m saying to him perfectly. Anyone else in the same boat?

4 yr old babbling?

My son is 4, he speaks perfectly fine, but he still babbles quite often. He can hold a conversation his speech is where it should be but I feel sometimes he still likes to babble . Is that normal?

Does your baby say two word phrases yet? Not counting uh oh & all done for this poll. More like I want, I need, I go, can we, etc.

Mine says uh oh, all done, oh wow, oh no but I’m not counting them. He does say help me & thank you!

Fussy baby!

Baby is 5 months old next week and my god the constant fussiness is driving me insane!! He doesn’t want to be held, but doesn’t want to be put down. Is hungry but is refusing his bottles. Can roll one way but not the other so gets stuck and screams every time he’s put down on his play mat. Then the teething on top...

Pointing?

My son isn't. It is starting to worry me even though he is very social and understands us well. He has other ways of communicating non-verbally but just doesn't point

Shaking head? Help?

Is anyone else’s 9/10mo shaking their head? My girl has started just shaking her head like she’s saying no but not quite randomly. She’ll look up a bit and just shake her head. My dad said when I was little I would do this as soon as I learnt how to, but it just seems she does it at random times. Sometimes when tir...

Babbling

Hi! My LO is 7 months now and not babbling. He makes lots of noise though - squealing, shouting, blowing raspberries and gargling. Not sure if I should be worried and when it's normal for babbling to develop

Unsettled baby

Anyone else feeling like their baby is super unsettled? This is my 3rd baby and my little one is either asleep or crying. She very rarely has a moment of looking around/smiling even kicking underneath a jungle gym doesn't keep her quiet for long. She's well fed and gaining lots of weight so it's not always hunger. S...

15 month old screaming

Hi mommies. I’m a FTM and need some advice. My son is 15 months old and keep screaming. If we don’t listen to him he screams and sometimes bangs his head on sofa or bed. I’m a little concerned is it normal? I don’t give him sugar at all

16 months, and barely talking

Any other mamas out there whose baby is about 16 month and not talking? He used to say mama and dada all the time, but that’s kind of gone away for whatever reason. We read, sing, dance, talk to him about what we are doing, etc. He understands when we say “say buh-bye!” And he will wave, he will say hi (by wa...

4 month old super grumpy?

Anyone else feel like their ~4 month old is so much less settled in the day? It’s like he wants to do specific things at specific times but can’t communicate with me so ends up getting narky!
