The stuff suggested to us to get B to make speech shapes with his mouth was blowing bubbles, painting above/below his lips with something nice (I used writing icing!) and getting them to lick it and a story called “Mr Tongue” whereby you get them moving their tongue in and out and up and down. The bubbles and icing went down well anyway I have to say that both DS1 and 3 who were slow to talk were both reluctant chewers, DS1 especially. I don’t recall I did anything apart from not give him chewy stuff but hes much better now. He still won’t eat something like lamb or pork though. DS3 is a mystery in that department. Hates chewy meat but doesn’t mind hard carrots! Good luck with it all!

Yep, all of mine have always been in much older age hats too - in fact Matilda’s last winter hat is a small ladies!

Emma has a slightly odd shaped head and it makes it slightly larger size than normal. I had to buy her an age 7-9 hat today which fits her - just! xx

So is there a link between diet and speech stuff then? Sounds interesting, anyway.

Pumpkinwraps look fab … probably won’t be able to convince Steve to have another baby on that basis though

Josiah’s hat is age 7-11. Where they get their head/age/sizes from in the shops I really don’t know! He tried on an age 2 - 6 one and it was completely too small!

Hope they give you some news before Saturday …
