2,5 years cant speak

Question

My child is over two years old but still cant speak. He likes to babble, but I don’t know what hes saying. He also isnt able to express what he wants very well yet.......... Even though I often talk to him or teach him words for objects or animal names, sometimes he can only say one word. Do you worry about this, mom? It makes me sad when he is compared to others who are already good at talking, even though theyre younger than him. Has any other mom experienced this? What’s the solution? Is it my fault?????????????

My toddler is 2.5 years old (born Nov 21) and I was quite worried about her speech development. I went to the polyclinic to get a referral for speech therapy, but the process is long—it can take around six months. My toddler has attended two sessions so far, and she is more talkative now, although sometimes she still babble, making it hard to understand. It's a slow but steady journey, and I'm trusting the process. Most people around me say it's too early to get speech therapy, but I was anxious to get started.
