If you use baby sign language and baby consistently says the beginning sound of the word while doing the sign do you count it as saying the word?

My little is 9 months and has started trying to say a lot recently. She has a lot of signs down but has started pairing sounds. She’s consistently adding “ba” to ball, “daw” to dog, “ni ni” to night night or sleep sign, a few others that aren’t as consistent like more and all done. I really want to count it cos she ...

Non verbal advice

My 19 month boy started saying Yh Yh Yh. He copied once on camera. Is this showing good signs of speech coming? He doesn’t copy us unless we blow raspberries or Indian laugh. We still think this video is a fluke.

UK ladies: toddler is calling everything a ‘scallywag’ 😂

My 3 year old recently started watching Octonauts and one of the characters calls bad guys ‘scallywags’ it’s not exactly a swear word but it’s not very polite… he’s not saying it to people but will say it when he’s engaged in play…. Partner thinks it’s bad… I find it hilarious tbh. What are your thoughts?

Is this a normal tantrum?

I took his clothes and nappy off as he washed his hands and got soaked. He had what felt like a 30 min tantrum. Head banging, trying to put his wet clothes back on, screaming. I sadly couldn't calm when he was hitting himself, scratching at his chest etc so I screamed for him to stop. I just don't know if this is no...

Head Shaking

Is anyone’s 5 month shaking their head vigorously left and right? Mine started a couple of weeks ago but I thought it was only while sleeping but now he does it when he is not sleepy or about to go to sleep or even when we’re holding him. Worried if this is normal?

Moaning

Does anyone else’s baby (11m) just moan all the time at the moment? He went through this at 5 months and it was hell and now we are back there and he makes an awful moaning noise and just seems sick of it and frustrated all the time!! Please tell me it’s not just me!

Speech

Really worried my little boy is behind on speech after seeing someone else post on here. I saw someone say their LO is saying around 40 words at this age and a lot of comments were saying around the same. My boy is 20 months and he literally only says about 5 words and even they’re not completely clear… I thought he...
