How odd. I do love opinionated people. It was an "older woman" who told me that I didn't have enough milk to feed DS1 (he was cluster feeding at the time) sadly I took her advice and put him on the bottle.

I digress....

FWIW the lead carer at DS2s childcare centre commented that it "seemed" to be that babies/toddlers either went down the "talking" or "doing" route. DS2 is a doer and is only now really picking up his vocab. A bub in his group who is the same age only ever bum-shuffled and was most definately a talker (you couldn't keep her quiet) - now she's becoming more of a doer . Now they are both more or less equal at doing and talking - they just "learnt" different things first.
