My little boy started talking late but the past 6 months or so he has improved massively and he was finally putting sentences together. I’ve noticed the last couple of weeks his speech has declined, he is struggling to get words out, making noises and pointing rather than asking for something. It’s as if he picks an...

My 19 m/o is not forming words yet. We get the occasional mama and dada and ‘nana’ for banana, and a word which he uses for the dog but thats it. Nothing consistent He babbles a lot and really gets in your face when trying to tell you something, so I think the want is there Should I be worried?

We have a 40 minute drive home and today it was very difficult to keep her awake. She slep...

If still BF, how many feeds are you now offering a day at 13 months old? My boy won’t take cows milk yet, just breast milk.

So being a ftm I did not realize people wash and sterilize their bottles and pump parts. I’ve been feeding with bottles I’ve hand washed with extremely hot water and that’s been it. I also just wash my pump parts. Is sterilizing actually necessary? In addition have I been messing up my baby the past 4 weeks of his l...

I am currently EBF and feel like I am non stop feeding from 6pm ish until my baby goes to sleep which is usually about 10pm, sometimes later.

Sigh. My bean is 5 months now and STILL taking such short naps and waking up a TON at night. I’m so confused as to what to do to try and help him sleep longer in the day and night. Any ideas? Also, he seems to prefer sleeping in the car seat to an extent too. I’m lost and we are going on almost 2 months of this…
