Baby making these sounds when feeding

Hey girls, I was just wondering if anybody knows why my almost 5 month old has started making these noises when feeding? It’s awful as it’s like he’s in pain or frustrated the milk isn’t coming out but it definitely is when I regularly check. It isn’t with every feed but quite often and only seems to be at the start...

Worried about 14 month old development

I feel like my son is very behind. He’s 14 months old. He babbles (mostly mama and baba) but neither seem to be in context. He doesn’t respond to his name. He’s just starting to take steps but not walking yet. He has no gestures other than putting arms up to be picked up. No waving, clapping or pointing. He doesn’t ...

2 years 9 months not running or jumping

Should I be concerned? He’s always been a bit behind with gross milestones, didn’t walk until 18 months. Ive worried at each milestone but he’s always eventually done it but the closer he gets to three years the more worried I’m getting that he’s not yet running or jumping 🤦🏼‍♀️
