Do bring up your concerns with the doctor at the next visit. If speech is a concern, they may refer to KKH Department of Child Development for follow up.

Almost wanted to bring my then 2yo to speech therapist. Got referral from polyclinic. But then he started & just couldnt stop yakking from then on.

It is normal too when I go for flash card classes with my boy. The girls seem to speak better and the boys are lacking behind

Mention this to your PD and ask for a recommendation letter for a specialist who can help you in this area
