Is it difficult being an only parent of a new born without help?

Whats the average age a kid starts talking well and almost completes sentences?

these are just a few, and thanks for taking the time to answer :)

Answer 1

One: Every person is different, we all lose the weight differently. Breastfeeding burns kilojoules/calouries tho and can help you get back to your pre birth weight.

Two: Breast milk can continue production for a friggin long time - over a year. This all depends on whether u breastfeed your child regularly and if u empty both breasts of milk daily. If they become too engorged with milk u can get mastitis (a breast duct infection) or your milk can dry up.

Three: Yes it can be difficult child rearing alone. I have a two year old daughter and raise her by myself. She is more than life to me tho so its very worth it.

Four: Every child has different learning capabilities. Usually 3-4 is a good age for sentence construction. My daughter pretty much talks well at her age tho (2 years). Just not big words tho.

Answer 2

1) All women are different in fast they can lose the baby weight. Nursing is a great way to burn calories and keep a healthy baby (all the antibodies!). Don't stress too much about, it will happen in due time.

2) I am not sure if you will be nursing or not. But, you will probably see some colostrum (yellow stuff that is the pre-milk) and will probably dry up with in a few weeks. If, you continue nursing, you can lactate for as long you do it and it may continue for a while after you stop. I strongly advise giving nursing a shot, you and your baby will benefit from it.

3) Taking of a newborn can be difficult for anyone. You may want to see if your hospital provides doula service. Doulas act as birth/parenting coaches for expectant moms. Some will actually come to your home and help you with the first few days.

4) All children are different and when they begin talking and talking well can vary. I would say that many children speak in 3 to 4 word sentences by about 2 years. My son had a speech delay and did not speak clearly until he was 3 1/2. Today, he is 8 and he will talk your ear off. Just treasure the quiet times! Speech will come when the child is ready.

Answer 3

My daughter is 7 1/2 months old and I still haven't lost none of the extra baby weight.......... I breastfeed all my kids until they were 4 1/2 months old. Lactating finallt stopped completely after about a month and a half...... My oldest son who is 4 years old stared talking very well around the age of 2 1/2 as for my 3 year old son he talks in complete sentences, but, has a small speech problem... I guess the talking depends on how the parents talks to the child..........

Answer 4

1) It depends on your genetics, diet and physical activity. I haven't lost it yet, but I have hypothyroidism and I quit smoking. My son is 18 months.

2) Depends on whether you nurse or not. Most women lactate as long as they're nursing. I think it's about 3 weeks otherwise, and the less you touch them the faster it will be. It will hurt if you do not nurse.

3) Of course. It's difficult being a parent of a child of ANY age WITH help.

4) Depends on the child and his/her personality, and how much the child has been spoken to, read to, sung to, etc. Two to two-and-a-half is pretty normal though. My son (18 months, remember) has an active vocabulary of about 20 words, plus gestures that kind of show what he wants. His receptive vocabulary is much bigger, and he can even follow a few directions without having to be shown what to do.

A couple pieces of free advice: 1)Go to babycenter.com and sign up. Lots of good info, and even message boards for single parents, and 2)Buy What To Expect: The First Year. This series is great and very informative. It's definitely worth the $15.00. I know it's saved me at least that much, because it's kept me from running my son into the doctor for frivolous reasons.

Answer 5

1) you can lose it quickly if you watch your diet for the last trimester.
2) I lost mine by roller-blading with the beach baby carriage.
3)It is very difficult being a mom&dad to a child did it ,been there. look for a little help fot the first year.
4) there is no average age for a child to learn how to speak in full sentences it dependes on how many grown -ups speak in a normal voice to the child and include them to participate in small talk with grown-ups.
5)I can't coment on lactation my milk was dried up with medication, due to high blood pressure will carring my son.
