*Worried first time mum*

Hey everyone first time mum here ! My boy is 13.5 months and can only say uh oh (which he says correctly when he falls over or drops something) and Dada which he says to his Dad but also to other things too! He can't say anything else yet though. Is this normal ?? He's been walking since 12 months, can clap wave and point.

That's completely normal. It sounds like he's doing great! 💕

My boy is nearly 15mths and is about the same as yours.

Totally normal! My eldest didn't day his first word (apple) until 17 months and he was still very much in the typical range.

Sounds great. If you want to help his language development just talk and read to him loads. When my son points at things I’ll tell him the name of it so he can learn to say what he needs/wants.

It's very normal, if he was saying no words by 18 months then it's more a concern. My little boy could say 4 words and has not said them for months now (around 4-5 months) he's been classed as 'forgotten' them by professionals for now (was saying mum still up until a month ago and hasn't since seeing his paediatrician)

If anything, I think that's really good!! My daughter is the same age and can't say any words yet, hope this helps Xx

My daughter is the same and it was good to read all the comments :) 🙏🏼

The lady who runs our sensory class said today that some little ones say their first words closer to two or even three and thats totally normal! (She's an early years specialist). Theres a really big window that they can start saying words in and thats fine, every child is different 🤗

Mine doesn’t say anything with purpose yet! It will come 😊

My son (13m) said his first word at 7.5 months but doesn’t crawl or walk. They really are all so different.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?
