My 9 month old was a serial babbler until he started teething. Now he just does Umms and Ahhs and an occasional da da. Anyone else experience this and have tips on how to encourage him to return to his babbling ways?

Thanks all! He's started his consonants back up again. Just waiting on him to restart his rambling so we can resume our conversations and debates.

At 9 months I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Kids go through stages, I’d be more worried if he was 18-24 months and still wasn’t talking. If you’re worried about communicating you can try sign language, it helped a lot with my son.

I parrot the sign language comment, but please don’t wait until 18-24 months. Take a look at the ASHA website and if your child isn’t hitting those milestones, look into early intervention. My wife is an SLP and the earlier you get intervention, the better!

From my experience, it'll come back after a few months. One thing that helps is him listening to baby songs, and also Ms Rachel videos on YouTube.

Same thing with us. Went quiet for about 4 weeks. Day before we saw the doc about it, he was back babbling and is now full steam ahead

Just to say its probably going to revert. I blab with him as much as i can

Happened to us too. Seemed to take a few weeks' break before getting back to it (and now at 18 months is trying to repeat any words she hears us saying).

I am done trying to pretend everything is fine at work. The higher ups on the team kept asking if I’m doing anything fun for the weekend during video calls. I felt the pressure to make something up but I just can’t. I’ve been struggling with depression, loneliness, anxiety with immigration and the fact that I might be out of work soon cuz my visa is expiring. I’m thousands of miles away from my family and I just want everything to stop. But when my manager kept asking in front of everyone am I

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?

I think it’s over with my SO of 3 years. He tells me he loves me and wants to work things through but has lied to me several times in the past - some which were the same mistake three times. He knows he needs professional help (he’s also on antidepressants and has PTSD) but I don’t know how I can trust him again. Feeling completely broken - cannot believe the situation we’re in. I’m so sad my heart is breaking and I don’t know what to do

One of my best friends growing up just passed away. We lost contact with each other a year or two after graduating high school and I recently came to learn he was was battling cancer the past 5 years and ultimately succumbed to the illness. He hid it well from everyone and led a very private life during it all. To make matters worse, he had just turned 25. Seeing pictures of the condition he was in towards the end of his fight broke my heart. I wish I had known so I could’ve been there for him.

On the flip side with how expensive houses are right now it’s hard to even buy. I’m in CA btw SoCal. If anyone has any suggestion of places to live for a 26 YO TIA!

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
