1yo baby milestone

We went for injection today. The doctor commented on how my baby is still not saying words like “mama papa” and waving goodbye or pointing at objects. Our baby just turned 1 and has started walking without assistance. Baby is healthy and active, would smile, clap, make eye contact and raise up hands when we offer to carry. Nothing much. Just feel kinda defeated. Anyone care to share their thoughts or experiences? #FTM #newmom

My 14 months old same thing too. She is active and she is yet to speak. Some kids develop pretty slowly. Keep talking, sign language, kids activity and give them between 15-18 months. Should this take pretty long, then you raised this concern to your child's doctor. Should they understand what we talk about or what they want, I am happy with it. While there are times it can be a concern, I would keep trying and not giving up.
