Hello. Its normal po na hindi clear or baby talk pa si baby. Usually 1 and 2 syllables lang talaga kaya nila i-pronounce. Ang importante po yung words niya ay may meaning at naiintindihan niya at alam niya paano gamitin.Sa anak ko nuong 1y8m siya marami na siyang  words at hindi rin clear pero naiintindihan naming dalawa.Ex.Ha - HiAna - Ina (me)Mamo - MamonBoon - SpoonAgu - WaterEes - EarsHe - HairDoy - ToyWatch ka rin sa YT kay Teacher Kaye Talks, sabi niya kahit hindi clear at kahit last syllable lang ang mapronounce, its already considered a word, Tsaka para may idea ka rin paano i-encourage si baby magtalk.2y8m na siya now nagi-start na siya mag construct ng sentence.
