    Babies don't start to make coherent words and sentences until around 24 months, depending on how much interaction they get. My family is huge, so our babies start on the younger (20ish months) side, but babies with smaller families would take longer. Also, neglected babies would be less. They typically can run before they can really understandably talk and usually it takes a translated (mom or dad) to understand them. Babies Harry's age could do words; mom, dad, no, that type of thing. You got the Baba right on the money though...and Snape getting peed on 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Baby boys, am I right.

    Great fun seeing Severus try to look after a baby but why doesn't he take Harry to Hogwarts to Dumbledore?

    Author's Response: Well first it's the middle of the night Christmas Day and he's exhausted plus he doesn't really trust anyone. He's used to being on his own and trying to handle his own problems.

    Great chapter. Brought me back to when my Daughter was a baby. And I'd like to say sorry to Severus for laughing my head off when Harry pee'd on him!LOL

    Author's Response:

    That really was funny though, wasn't it?

    And it's happened to me, so I can laugh over it!

    But poor Sev! LOL!

    Never a DE! Good to see him free of guilt for once. I do not understand, though, why the most brilliant potion maker earns such a small salary.

    Author's Response: Yes I didn't want him being a DE to complicate things.  He might be a brillian tpotions maker, but his boss is a cheapskate and doesn't pay him half of what he's worth.  And right now the other apothecaries aren't hiring.  So he has to make do, unfortunately. But things might change someday.

    Oh my word.

    I love it. This is a superb story idea, and I can't wait to see where all you take it.

    I love the was that you have done Severus, I like watching him try to figure out what to do exactly with this creature that he is now responsible for. Kinda reminds me of the first time I babysat solo. ;-}

    I also love Snape's little one liners, like, "Other people get kittens and puppies for Christmas. What do I get? An abandoned sick baby that happens to be James Potter’s son!"
    I love it. ;-}

    I can't wait to see the next chapter.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks very much! Severus is going to be puzzling out that one for several months. 

    yeah I like giving Sev a tart yet funny sense of humor. 

    You can see the next chapter now as I've just posted it!

    Aww! The both of them make me feel really bad. I know what it's like to have a sick child like that, and it's really exhausting especially if you're the only one home with him. And a new parent.

    Severus is doing a good job and I hope he holds it together. He's all Harry has.

    More, please!

    Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you're enjoying this!

    Wow! I can't wait to see what happens next! I felt so tense as Snape was trying to deal with Harry-- probably almost as tense as Snape himself was feeling! You really described the situation realistically, as well as making your readers feel the emotions that Snape experiences.

    Author's Response: Thankas, I always try and put myself into the character I'm writing and think about how I would react or feel and I guess it really worked well.  Hope you enjoy my next chapter as I've updated this!

    Poor both of them. Wow Harry with auburn hair, interesting. Wow the Dursleys are very cruel. I love your stories. Keep up the good work and please update ASAP. :)

    Author's Response:

    Yes, one sick and the other exhausted and running out of patience.

    I wanted  Harry to look almost like Lily in this fic, so as to forstall all the usual, "he looks just like his father" and therefore Snape can't stand him.

    Thanks so much! I really don't like the Dursleys here but then again, you're not supposed to.

    I have just updated!
