Speech

Hi I was wondering if anyone little one says breaks up words like this. For example he will say pur ple or aaa ple. I know it’s silly but is this normal speech. He has single words just broken up or slowly. If he also says a word he may repeat it more than once.

Bad behaviour

Alice is my 1st so I'm lacking experience and don't know whether I should be concerned about her behavior or if it's considered a "normal" stage for her age but I keep worrying about it.

Speech

Are your babies talking already? My 14 months old used to say over 15-20 words from 10-12 months, now I feel like she has ‘developed’ her own speech/ babble, and not saying real words anymore except for mama, papa and water.. she’s understands most things we say to her though. Has this happened to anyone?

My 9.5 month old is standing on his tip toes when he’s stood up against anything.

Is this normal? He doesn’t put his feet flat. He has no problem pulling himself up to stand at furniture and loves standing with support, but his feet are never flat?

She can weight bear fine, and will lean forward onto her front to reach things, and will roll her way around the room but just isn’t crawling. Her sister bum shuffled so I’ve been looking ou...
