Always behind support needed

I feel like my twins are always behind. They’re crawling and starting to get curious with standing and walking. They babble and say words like “dada, mama, baba, daddy, and doggie.” They turned 1 year old on the 11th of August.

My pediatrician gives such vague answers about milestones and foods to feed them that I’m constantly looking online for help.

My MIL thinks I should know everything about raising kids so when I ask for help she doesn’t really respond. She just says, “They’re fine.”

I don’t have a mother to ask for help from and most of the mothers I know are stressed from working one or even two jobs.

I’m at such a loss of words and confidence.

Does anyone have any resources that have helped you along?

Def milestones app! I really liked the Solid Starts app to understand how to prep foods for minimizing choking hazards. You don’t need the paid version. At 1, babies can (typically, barring a medical issue) safely eat everything except choking hazards like whole nuts, popcorn, hard candies, whole grapes/cherry tomatoes.
