As I was saying...
I can't believe I actually worried about this, but I have such a vocal 4-year-old girl, when my son was born last year I was afraid he wouldn't be able to compete. You know, verbally. File this under "ridiculous things moms worry about" since out of the gate the kid has known how to express himself. Often at decibels only a dog, or mother, can hear. That's him in the photo - - expressing himself.
So now that we have two of the biggest yappers in the history of yapping sharing our home, I'm worried that my baby talks too much. No, he's not colicy and he's not crying, or even screaming in frustration since he can't quite form his rs yet. He's happily chatting away 24/7 as if he needs to broadcast to the back of a Broadway theater. Somehow, I feel I should be concerned.
It turns out I might be alone in this particular parenting neurosis. Searching for similar parents with the fear of chatter has yielded not one result.
Parents worrying baby sneezes too much? Yes.
Worrying that your baby poops too much? Absolutely.
But people (like me) who worry about never having another uninterrupted conversation with their spouse for the next eighteen years? Not so much.
Make me feel better, CafeMoms. What's your strangest baby worry?

I worry that I'll never have my bed to myself. Ever. Every night, at about 10-11:00 pm, my 2 year old will wake up and climb into bed with me. I have not had a full night's sleep, alone, in my bed, for over 3 years (I have a 3 year old as well).
Small potatoes, I know, but man...just one night of no tummy kicking, hair pulling, night terrorized kids seems like a pipe dream right now!
I worry that my child might stop breathing...or might be sicker than I think, a cold may not just be a cold.....I worried too about the my son's speech....he was such a quiet baby but now I think he is making up for it...I'm trying to teach him HOW TO USE AN INSIDE VOICE!!! I think it's just part of a mom's job description...to worry!!!
I had all sorts of neurotic worries when my kids were babies. I can't remember any of them at the moment, but I do remember being worried about things that never happened.
my oldest daugther, 3yrs old , can't stop talking either, do not let a stranger get a hold of her little mouth because she wont stop talking!!! i feel your pain lol
My baby worries were that my kids wouldn't start talking, or that they'd have speech problems like I did. Yeah, no worries now. They never stop talking.
