Honestly my little boy was the same and I was worried but since Christmas, he's come on so much with his speech, I can see everyday he is trying so much and is saying more words x

Honestly, don't worry about it too much. My little boy didn't start talking properly until after he turned 2.

Our HV (wales) is concerned, we have an appt next week to see the community nurse i think they will recommend speech therapy but I’ll comment on here and let you know if you like!
But - I’ve got loads of friends whose boys didn’t start talking til 2 years so I’m not too worried about it x

Tbh I wouldn’t worry. My brother (3.5) didn’t talk until well after two now he won’t shut up. My daughter only said hi and mom at that age. She was able to point things out and knew how to communicate without talking but knew what you meant if you spoke. Now she’s like 30 months or something like that and she says more words and counts up to 20. Not full sentences yet but she’s also speaking her dad’s language at times so I think that’s slowing her down. I would be worried closer to three. But try watching older shows or things like Ms Rachel. And speak more to them

Or is baby a bilingual?

My boy is 26 months old, he doesn't talk yet. He says maa, daaa and roars for almost all animals. At 18months they weren't concerned as they came out for my now 8 month old. So don't worry about it too much

Seems boys have a different path from girl but also dipend from how much you talk with them. My daughter is 11 month and say any dada , but she biklknguL so my infant psicologico explain to me is because she is bilingual but I need to keep talking constantly every day they absorb a lot. And till 4 years old is ok to don't worried about to muchunles there is also a late walking.

My little boy didn't properly start saying words until he was closer to two. He's still delayed but new words and coming every day and he has great understanding of things.
He is 26 months and waiting for our 2.5 year health visitor appointment before we see what they say and if he needs any extra help.
My boy is extremely physical and has always been focused and ahead on that aspect so I'm not too concerned at the moment. Trying to take things at his pace and see what the health visitor says.

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!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!
