my kid has speech delay because of me
Mom... my husband and I feel really guilty. We have one child. Both of us work... ever since our child was born, we've had help from a babysitter. When we're at work, we leave our child at my parents' house, but still with the babysitter. Often, we're too tired when we get home from work, so we don't have time to play with our child. We rarely talk to him. Sometimes, even on weekends, we have events. We do take him with us, but we realized... after thinking about it, even though we take him along, we rarely engage in conversations or interactions with him. We got too comfortable with the convenience... having a babysitter, someone to take care of our child. We rarely talked to him. The result? Our child has a speech delay. The therapist said one of the factors is the lack of stimulation for talking. We regret it so much. Why did we get so caught up in work? Why did we give in to exhaustion and convenience? We used to think it was pointless to talk to a baby since they don't understand yet. But that's not true. They will understand more if we talk to them more often... Child, forgive us for being negligent as parents...

Post partum sex painful and slight brown discharge after?
Finally dared to be intimate more than 5 months but it was painful though. And is it normal to have slight brown discharge/bleeding after that? Used lubrication too since I’m still breastfeeding and quite dry..
baby clapping for the 1st time
I just had to share the most amazing thing my baby did today! My little one is approaching 1 year. Today, while we were playing together, my baby finally started clapping all on their own. I was worried but now i can breath easy.... It was the cutest thing I've ever seen! I know it might seem like a small thing, but to me, it's a huge milestone and a wonderful reminder of how incredible this journey is.

MIL wants to give my baby honey
I’m really angry and worried right now because my in-laws keep insisting on giving my 7-month-old baby honey. They believe it’s healthy and beneficial, but I know it can be dangerous for babies under 1 year old. Despite me telling them multiple times about the risks, they don’t seem to take me seriously. I’ve explained that honey can cause infant botulism, which is a serious condition caused by bacteria in honey that a baby’s immature digestive system can’t handle. I’m at my wits’ end because they keep pushing this, and I’m scared for my baby’s safety. It’s causing a lot of tension and stress in the family.
baby sleeping pattern
I’m a bit concerned about my son's sleeping habits and how they might affect his development. He's currently 2.5 months old, and his sleeping pattern seems a bit irregular compared to what I've read or heard from other parents. He tends to have short naps during the day, maybe 30 minutes to an hour at most, and then he'll have one longer nap, usually in the late afternoon or early evening. At night, he usually sleeps for about 3-4 hours at a time, wakes up for a feeding, and then goes back to sleep for another stretch. I’ve read that babies his age should be sleeping longer stretches at night and taking longer naps during the day. Should I be worried that his sleeping pattern might hinder his development? Or is this normal for a baby his age?
Is karaoke or live band kind of noise too loud for babies?
Is it okay to bring 7mo baby to such environment? Is it too loud? Do we need ear muffs?
baby language development
My little one is now 11 months old, and I'm curious about what's considered normal for language skills at this age. I've noticed that my baby babbles a lot and seems to be trying to mimic some sounds, but they don't have any real words yet. Is this typical for an 11-month-old? When did your babies start saying their first words, and what were they?
