Talking

My son will be 1 in less than a month. Now I know babies aren't talking talking yet be he doesn't say anything no mama, dada, baba not even two letters like ma, ka, da. He was born 6 weeks early so I'm assuming that's why he hasn't said anything yet? I'm just a little concerned.. we talk to him all the time and are ...

Sign language

We’re teaching our son sign language slowly and I was wondering if if anyone else is as well. And if so what signs have you taught him besides the basics?

Babbling

My little one (7mo) will coo and say ahh and giggle but hasn't babbled yet. Anyone else who can relate? He has always been our observer. Makes great eye contact and is social.

Shrieking

Has your LO discovered their voice yet? He’s shrieking and yelling like never before just for minor things like wanting to be picked up. He screams like he’s in pain but he’s being so dramatic lately these past few days

Talking

How many words is your LO saying? My son is 13mos and only says mama and dada when he cries. But I feel like he doesn’t even understand a lot of other words like yes, no, hello etc. We speak to him in 2 languages could this be why? Or am I expecting too much too soon?

7 month old screaming in the car

Any tips to help my 7 month old enjoy being in the car more? Unless he’s asleep he’ll be okay for 30 minutes and the scream the rest of our journey. We have a trip coming up to see family up north soon so any tips to help would be great!

Clicking noise when feeding

My baby is 5 weeks and she has started clicking at the bottle when feeding? I have read that it could be tongue tie but I don’t think it is as she’s never done this before? We have also recently gone from a 0 teat to and 1 teat so we don’t think it’s because of that either. Has anyone else experienced this?
