Baby

My #1 is 21 months now and has not started talking. Still uses baby language like mum-mum (eat), though she's able to call papa, name out some animals but many elders are telling me that she's should start to talk by this age. Any idea how do I get her to express herself the correct way? I tried letting her watch videos on YouTube but doesn't help.

Every child has different pace...not to worry in time she will speak properly...own pace, own target...just be sure to speak in clarity and use proper words eg. Eat and not mum-mum

Don't let her watch YouTube videos. Just speak to her with adult language- less baby talk!
