no worries mummy.... some couldn't speak till they are 2.5 years... depends on an individual child... but..... do speak a lot to your child... talk to him/her, read books, play videos, sing nursery rhymes... let him/her gather othe vocabs and they will slowly pick up the pace... however so.. need to bring to see a specialist if child still show no sign of speaking by 4.. by 4 children shd be able to speak and exchange replies with another person.. at least a word or even better a 2-3 words sentence..
Mine altho can say few words, he mostly only babble! Only if he see certain things then he’ll say it else really all babble. He also cannot say mama papa yet. He’s 14m. Doc did say 15m if cannot say mama papa therell refer him but i trust my son. He’s still progressing. Even his ifc teacher shows no concern on his speech. He also imitate us talk. And he really monkey see monkey do.
My kid couldn't actually say any words properly at 1 yr old. Occasionally says papa mama when he feels like it. Had asked the PD, and it's normal. at least he gestures to express what he wants. Now nearing 15 months, he can say about 6,7 words? but also see mood lol.
brought mine to polyclinic for developmental checkups & nurse wasnt worried even at ard 3yo
perfectly normal. many can't really speak at 18months yet
