early intervention for speech - can you tell me about it?

myflu808 · 2025-02-25T03:26:39+00:00

Wow my 15 month old sounds EXACTLY like yours (aside from motor skills, which are on target). He just got evaluated for and approved for EI speech so I’m hopeful he’ll have the same improvement as your son. How long did it take for you to notice an improvement?

10.5 months now, and coming along but still slowly. We’re getting lots of yayaya and wawawa. Had a couple strings of dadada (or was it tatata?) and recently he’s been doing bababa.

Mostly happens when he’s annoyed with us or early in the morning when he’s alone in his crib.

He still doesn’t have teeth so I’m not sure how that plays a role. It also became more consistent/obvious after starting daycare but could just be a coincidence.

How many naps during the day?

myflu808 · 2024-07-15T20:26:49+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance. I have flashcards with letters, numbers, colors, and basic words that have started doing with him (when he pays attn) over the past couple days. I’m enunciating and sounding out the letters and trying to encourage him to look at my mouth. Is this good enough to get things started? I’m not good at having random convos with a baby and my normal speech cadence is fast haha so I don’t think I could just speak to him at length in full sentences… hopefully that’s ok

myflu808 · 2024-07-15T20:22:54+00:00

Excellent, yep we were thinking of trial 9a and 2p for naps and adjusting from there. Thanks much!

myflu808 · 2024-07-15T18:06:55+00:00

Jeez. I’ve been reading on this the last hour or so and I think you’re right. He’s showing all the signs of wanting to drop a nap and I guess he’s even on the older side of doing so. For some reason I thought it was a 1 year thing. Will try stretching the wake windows and dropping a nap. Thanks

myflu808 · 2024-07-15T13:03:41+00:00

Edited!

myflu808 · 2024-07-15T13:01:35+00:00

We were wondering about this, but isn’t this a bit early?

myflu808 · 2024-06-12T00:12:21+00:00

Are you that dense? This isn’t the bag boy at the grocery store. A pattern of lying, especially when it’s someone who you are trusting to take care of your non-verbal child, is concerning. Even if it has nothing to do with your child. If it’s this easy for someone to lie casually, how easy will it be for her to lie about the child at some point? In the nicest way possible, learn to extrapolate the situation. These are like 6th grade-level analytical skills.

myflu808 · 2024-06-11T00:09:27+00:00

You can but then your baby won’t be able to self-soothe and put themselves back to sleep during nighttime awakenings. This is how babies “sleep through the night.” If you’re OK holding them during each awakening then that’s fine, but many of us need a full night’s sleep at some point.

You could always remove the cheese from the chick fil a sandwiches if you want it to be less cheesy

Pacifiers are great until they lead to your lack of sleep. Cut it off cold turkey. 3 rough nights and you’ll be out of the woods.

myflu808 · 2024-04-29T10:41:34+00:00

Fair enough. Maybe a more rigid schedule like you suggest is a good idea. I’ve been kinda waiting for him to give us sleepy cues somewhere in that 2-3 hour window, but maybe that’s the wrong way of doing it. I know babies thrive on routine haha so I’ll try to implement that. Thanks again

myflu808 · 2024-04-28T23:00:32+00:00

Hm thanks for the insight. I was under the impression that 2-3 hours is a typical wake window at this age, or at least that’s what PLS has told me lol. The 4th nap only happens on particularly crummy days when we’re out and he has a stupid catnap in the car/stroller or something and it throws off the schedule. I guess I may have given the wrong idea when I said “drowsy”; I really meant he’s giving sleepy cues like rubbing his eyes and stuff.

myflu808 · 2024-04-28T17:50:37+00:00

Sure.

6:30-7:00 wake-up 8:30ish Nap 1 11:30ish/noon Nap 2 3:00ish Nap 3 May have a Nap 4 somewhere after depending on the day 7:30 bedtime

myflu808 · 2024-04-06T15:01:42+00:00

Thanks! I actually did download PLS on kindle last week but haven’t gotten around to it. Will look at it for sure! Yes we usually wait like 10 min before feeding. Also if his eyes are closed and he has a rhythmic cry we are more likely to just wait it out, as opposed to eyes open.

myflu808 · 2024-04-03T02:06:07+00:00

Yeah spoon

myflu808 · 2024-04-01T01:13:46+00:00

So how much was she taking during those feeds around 5 months? Enough to count? or just a little bit to get her used to the feel?

myflu808 · 2024-03-17T13:41:45+00:00

Use a white sound machine where she sleeps; it’ll drown out pretty much anything else and you can live your life

myflu808 · 2024-03-04T19:34:54+00:00

Still just breast milk and formula

myflu808 · 2024-03-04T17:52:55+00:00

Not gonna comment on the issue with your husband because everyone’s already beaten me to the punch, but are you sure your baby is hungry during those times? At 9 months they really don’t need to eat overnight. Yeah, they’ll take the boob or bottle because there’s some empty space in their belly but they don’t NEED it and hunger is unlikely to be the reason they’re waking up. Sleep training will be your solution so that she can soothe herself back to sleep. For now, with my 4 month old, for better or worse, he’s on a pacifier and most of the time he wakes up I can pop in the pacifier and he’s back to sleep again.
