Omg these are so cute - and saves the faff of changing a duvet cover (which is 100% the worst household task)

He usually sleeps with a throw and a pillow but he kept kicking it off, i got him a toddler quilt. He has just gone for his nap with it but worried he wriggles under it

They look really good, never saw those before. Are they ok in the wash?

Neither mine or my friends child goes to nursery. Tbh I think it’s normal as my health visitor is really lovely and she said it’s fine and not to worry about it. He is also under SALT team for chewing and they never said anything about not talking x

I think that sounds normal, my little one is 20 months and I would say it’s only in the last 8 weeks or so her vocabulary has started to really expand, before then it was dada, dog, and hiya. In comparison my friends baby had loads of words, but she walked a lot later than mine. I think they all just develop so differently that comparing them will only make you feel bad! They do say they work on movement skills or communication skills, as they can’t do both at the same time, and I found that’s definitely true in all the babies I know.

Speech chat- we have some weird sounding words (16m), daddy is “ah-geeee” but some basic “hiya”, “buh-bye” etc, but if I ask her to go find something she will go and get it, so she does understand what things are, although she doesn’t say them… I think it takes a while, but I’m not worried yet!

Every animal says “baaa” though

I know lots of people love the cover less duvet covers but I and my lo aren’t fans. The idea is great, but they have a horrible feel to them. I think it’s because they’re made of polyester, the texture is similar to a sleeping bag . Just something to bear in mind. Ours was from Asda.

My youngest is 2 next month. But at 18 months, she could only say about 3 words.
She never said mama. Only dada. And said hi and bye.
Now though, she can say a lot more! In the past month or 2, she's suddenly picked up loads!

They say 25 words are about average for when they turn 2.
That's still 6 months away for you and you'd be surprised how much they pick up.
And 25 is only "average" so there's literally no worry.

People often think when it comes to saying words, it means clear, or full words. But that's not just what's counted at all!
People will be surprised how many their kids actually say that they don't realise is counted as words

That’s so interesting, I didn’t realise words like “weeeeee” were including, we have “uh oh” “oh dear” and on occasion “oh god”

That’s still so young yet. I know it’s hard but give them time. Kids pick up language everywhere, even if it’s just sat at home cuddling on the sofa with you. So try not to worry, you’re not doing anything wrong.
If you want try to go to baby/toddler groups, see how you both get on. Can’t hurt, I hate the places but some people get alot out of them.
Mine is just gone 2 & has no words yet. We’ve asked for early 27month check to get some support in place for him.
This is a good website for guidelines to speech & language. https://www.gosh.nhs.uk/conditions-...speech-and-language-development-12-24-months/
My hv also recommended this site for fun activities to help language.

Sorry just catching up and I have no advice but just wanted to let you know I'm in exactly the same boat.....I don;t know if it's sadistic or not but sometimes I find it comforting that other people are going through the same "torture" as me..................I'm just biting the bullet now and sleep training (for the 4th time but sticking to it with no excuses this time )from tonight and beginning to night wean....mentally I just can't any more and need to be done....makes me feel so guilty for her though

You’ll hate him even more if you google ‘Blippi poo Harlem shake’ or something like that 🫠

It absolutely blows my mind that when I was the age of my boddler, my parents also had a 2 month old. What the fuck. How??? This guy still tries to share my skin and nurses a million times a night.

Apparently I slept through from 3 months. But in the baby lottery I got one who's still up a million times a night at 15 months, howls if my husband tries to do any of the overnight comforting, and has to sleep in my bed. Cheated.
Re duvet chat though - I've had slightly better sleep recently since stopping putting him in his sleeping bag and letting him under the proper covers with me. I think he snuggles up more?

Wow!! I didn't know that! That's really reassured me thanks so much. I think what makes me anxious is that my friend always rubs it in my face with what her little girl can do, and it makes me feel like a failure as a mum. I think because we were pregnant together and there's 2 weeks between our boddlers- I seem to compare alot, which i know is wrong. Xx

Thanks for this and for everyone who has gone out of their way to reply to me. It means such a lot and had really reassured this tired mum!!!! I really do appreciate the support on here. Xxx

This will sound so bad but there are 6 days between TMe and my friend’s son, and they are both equally “behind” so it makes me feel better I’m dreading summer as we will meet my nephew for the first time as he is 3 months younger, but from what we are told he speaks a lot and I’m so worried about comparisons being made and TMe being thought of negatively
