Hi,
I’m angry with myself for even worrying about this. I worried about EVERYTHING with my 5 year old son when he was a baby and it was all for nothing and robbed my enjoyment.
My daughter is 6 months and 1 week old and she’s so quiet. She WAS cooing back and forth with me but seems to have stopped the last week. She constantly has her hands in her mouth and has just started rolling both ways and it seems to have stopped since then.
There’s some quiet cooing, some throat gurgling back to me when I talk to her (Not all the time) But in general she’s just quiet and seems to take it all in? In all honesty though, she’s never been loud or shouty, but I can see a real difference this last week in that she’s gone even quieter.
Eye contact is great, very smiley, smiles in response to me smiling at her, occasionally giggles, sometimes responds to her name, very alert and “nosey” - but I have this horrible feeling as compared to other babies her age she is very quiet. For example my friend’s lad is 4 week’s younger than her and doesn’t shut up! Constantly belly laughing too.
My other 2 really found their voices at 4 months and 5 months and were very vocal. She’s definitely not and it’s got me so very worried when I just want to enjoy her!
Is this a major red flag? Anything I can do?
