January 2023 Babies 🇬🇧

We are on day 2 of potty training and we have about 3 or 4 accidents a day. Half of the accidents she says she is peeing and half she just pees without mentioning. We have been good with poop in the potty. Any thoughts on how to encourage her more to either share she is about to pee or directly go to the potty instead of peeing where she is? I set an alarm for every hour and tell her to take a potty trip. I keep it to 30 minutes if after a food/liquid intake. The trickiest accidents are the ones that happen right after she actually used the potty so I was not on the look out for one right after.

My daughter is 2 and has been diagnosed with developmental delays.

Has any other mumma’s little ones been diagnosed with this & how do you cope?

Thanks mumma’s x

I've recently bought my 2 year old daughter a cot duvet (she's still in a cot right now) and a pillow. She's here and there with sleeping on the pillow but she hardly sleeps under the duvet.

The duvet is 4.5 tog but i tried last night to dress her in just a tshirt and nappy, turned the heating off in her room to see if she was hot and that's the reason why but she still kicked it off and kept doing so when I went into the room to put it back on her.

I just really want her to have a comfortable night sleep and stay warm. She never wakes up complaining or crying, but she does wake up through the night and kind of babbles to herself and moans a bit (which she never used to do).

Please say she'll eventually use the duvet herself and does anyone have any tips for trying to get her to that stage?

Our health visitor put a referral in for an audiologist for our two year old. She said there was a huge wait list.

Does anybody have any more info on this? Or anywhere I could pay to take him for a hearing test?

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.
