Not sure if this is the right place to post this so let me know if there is somewhere better. My son is 27 months and right at 2 years old I got him evaluated for a speech delay. In order to qualify for EI he had to score less than a 70 in one category and he scored a 69 in expressive communication so his delay is pretty minor. Anyways, he has been seeing his speech therapist for a little under 2 months now and I feel like she isn’t really doing as much as I thought she would. When she first started with him she said that if he’s in a bad mood or uninterested one day then it is best to not force it during their sessions. This made complete sense to me and I agreed to not push it. But now it seems like every single time my son is maybe in a bad mood or not wanting to play with her she doesn’t even try and then she ends up just talking to me for the entire session while my son plays on his own or hides around the corner. It’s starting to get really frustrating because I’m like girl I’m not here to talk to you for an hour. I wish she would try a little more to get him involved and actually work with him. I guess I’m just trying to see if anyone else who has done early intervention was this pretty common to have several days where maybe your therapist didn’t really do much with your kid? Should I say something to our coordinator? I feel really bad saying something but I also need to advocate for my kid if he isn’t getting the help that he could be getting from someone else.

Okay I am fully aware that this just might be how it is because of her age but I want to see if there’s possibly something I’m doing wrong. My baby is 4 weeks old. Sleeps great for naps in bassinet, easy to put down. She sleeps overall pretty well during the night waking up about 2-3 times. But getting her down for bed is an absolute nightmare and I truly can’t tell if I am doing something wrong or if this is just how it’s going to be until she grows out of it. Here’s the issue:
We will feed her and she will fall asleep and we put her down and she wakes up maybe 10 minutes later ready to eat. I will get her up and feed her again and put her down and then boom right back up to eat. I will feed her a third time and she finallyyyy will go down and stay asleep. (I don’t count those as apart of the 2-3 wake ups). The thing is, it’s not because she is falling asleep while eating or anything. She is fully awake but after eating for awhile she will just starting crying at the bottle and then want to go to sleep. We follow her wake windows as well and make sure she’s getting fed about 15 minutes before the end of her wake window. How can I get her to just go down? I am exhausted because we will start bath at like 7:30 and she won’t be down for the night until almost 10:30-11 because of the constant wake ups at the beginning of the night.

My newborn loves to suck on her hands and it seems to really help soothe her and unfortunately she will not take a pacifier. But she also likes to be swaddled in the love to dream swaddle. Should I maybe consider not swaddling her so she has access to her hands as her way to help self soothe or would it be better to keep her swaddled? What would you do in this situation?

My LO is 5 days old and I can’t seem to figure out how to fix the issue I’m having or why it’s happening. She sleeps amazing during the day. She sleeps in her bassinet without any issues at all. We have the lights on, we don’t try to be quiet, etc. We cap each of her naps at 2 hours and she has a good 30 minutes to an hour of awake time before going back down. So here’s the issue: she WILL NOT sleep in her bassinet at night for longer than 10-20 minutes and I cannot for the life of me understand why. How can she sleep so well in the bassinet during the day but at night she wakes up almost immediately??? I’m starting to get really frustrated because it just genuinely doesn’t make sense to me. Please give me any tips. I will not cosleep. Is this just going to be one of those things where one day it just clicks??

My 2 year old got a cold over a month ago but the stupid cough won’t go away. There are moments of a seal cough but he doesn’t have any breathing problems at all so I’m not concerned about croup unless I should be? But it just WILL NOT GO AWAY. And the worst part is it wakes him up from his nap multiple times a week and it’s making me go crazy!!! We have the humidifier going every night, vapor rub, I tried zarbees but it didn’t seem to help. Is there literally anything at all I can do??
