This is totally normal! My son literally says dada , mama very occasionally and ‘ta’. Occasionally something that vaguely resembles hiya but not in context.

The range of normal is so varied and lots of people say between 18 months and 2 something just clicks and you can’t shut them up.

They often focus on one area of development more than the other so it’s likely the talkers aren’t as good movers etc - they’re all different but get to the same place eventually 😊

What no don't be embarrassed! My lil man is the same. He says nana (banana), up, mama and dada daily. He previously said yeah and no and now only says these every few days. Understanding is more important. Just keep going, they will all get there in time and we may have big leaps at 18mo

Mine doesn't say any words yet if that makes you feel any better. He nods and shakes his head in response to questions and shouts to get attention but I've not heard any sounds that I could convince myself were words. They get their in their own time so try not to worry about it. My 3 year old doesn't stop talking and he was also a late talker. I find myself trying to find a quiet space to escape from the constant chatter after wishing he'd talk for so long

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
