Speech delay???

Son will be 2 and a half in March and is trying to talk, but his speech most of the time comes out in babbles. I have tried health visitors Private speech therapist who have said they can't help any further. I'm super worried about him.... I just need someone to talk to.

Crawling

My baby is about to be 9 months and he is still just dragging himself across the floor instead of crawling on his knees. I’ve been trying to help him be on his knees more but he still won’t use them to crawl. He’s seems more keen to learn how to stand😂 Anyone else going through this?

is head shaking normal at 7 months?

my boy has been doing this for a few weeks now and just want to know if it’s normal? i have been saying yes (and nodding) and saying no (whilst shaking my head) to try and teach him, so i don’t know if he’s picked it up or somethings wrong.

Hair Pulling/Face Squeezing

My lil guy has been scrunching my face, lips, neck, and pulling my hair. Everything I read says it’s signs of bonding/thankfulness. He’s pretty strong for a 5.5 mo and sometimes really hurts me. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, are you disciplining/stopping it? What tools are you using?

Arm flapping?!

Is anyone else concerned about excessive arm flapping and ankle/toes twirling in their little ones? 😬 I noticed it from a couple of months old as he would never be interested in rolling or reaching for things but instead would just lay there and flap and twirl with his legs out rigid straight... as he’s grown its…

Speech at this age

What is actually considered ‘normal’ for a toddlers speech at this age? I read so many different things. I know every child is very different. My little boy says around 70 words. And he’s starting to sometimes put two words together such as all done, bye bye …, all gone, purple grapes.

Lack of speech

I am starting to get really worried about LO. In general he still babbles and doesn’t seem very interested in mimicking sounds - he does try to occasionally but it’s very hit and miss. Is anyone else experiencing this?
