How many words can your LO say? Can they count/alphabeth yet?

Mama, dada, ta, duck. He understands everything you say and can follow instructions though

18 words off the top of my head but she’s chatting all day every day so I lose track 😂 tries to chat to me with hand gestures and change of tone but most of that is not understandable so I just agree 😅 no counting or alphabet

Mummy, daddy, duck, dog, baabaa(sheep) moo, bye, bee, oink noise for pig

I think I need to get her some toys/books that aren't animals haha

But also understands a lot of what we say

Mama and dada at a push and shakes her head saying ‘neh’ for no but that is it. She understands loads so not worried

I'd say maybe 15 words max but maybe a few less as she doesn't say all words constantly that's mainly just mama dada nana roro (her brother is logan) and brother which are daily words all day everyday
Doesn't count or know the Alphabet yet either
But she does understand 9 out of 10 of what I say

Mine is saying barely any words. Sometimes he parrots things like ‘up stairs’ and ‘hi cat’. He understands a lot and will follow instructions (when he feels like it). I’m not worried, he seems to be much more of a mover and is currently practicing jumping

wow impressive! Any tips? Do you have any screen time

There's 14 month olds counting and doing the alphabet already?

We read to her a lot as she loves books. At the moment it’s none stop bringing us a book and sitting in our laps then once it’s done she’ll go and grab another then come back with that. I am a talker though, so it could be inherent?
No screen time, she’ll occasionally glance at Daddy’s shows in the evening but nothing on for her and I never have the tv on during the day. I play music instead, mine not kids, I’d go stir crazy 😂

The alphabet/numbers is about reciting than saying words on the 14 month questionnaire it suggests 4,words at this time is average , mines not saying any words yet but gesturing, Sharing joint interest and our salt said that was all normal when he had a swallow assessment done for recurrent chest infections x

Mine only knows how to say mama - slightly worried now that she’s behind

Avatar

i had a conversation last month with the HV cause i was worried she was behind.. she only said dada and nothing else.
Within a month she started to say 10 more words! Out of the blue, so no need to be worried. She will get there 🩷

I really doubt that many 15 month olds can recite the alphabet 😂😂. I wish we would all enjoy our little ones learning rather than always asking what others are doing and putting unrealistic expectations on ourselves! A small handful of words at this age is totally normal ♥️

Avatar

please don’t! Sorry but this kind of post drives me wild. Some say 1 word if that at this age, some say far more and both= normal!! Please don’t worry, they all learn at different rates ♥️

Avatar

I've never known a 15 month old to recite the alphabet and count. Is yours doing that OP?

Avatar

mines saying Mama, raa, me, baby but it's all babbles and has zero meaning to him yet. I spoke to my HV on Tuesday and she said it's perfectly normal so I wouldn't worry x

Avatar

Around 25 words. She is not counting but when I ask how old she is she shows one and says one. Also she can say “three cars” (actually “three car”) after I begged her to do so like 10 times 😂 every baby is different thou and will get there on their own time. I was an early talker myself. But my husband was a late talker, but his speech is probably more advanced than mine now. So doesn’t really matter how many words babies say at this age as long as they understand most

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
