Tbh sometimes I worry about Aiden being almost 18 months old and not really having any words but then I see some kids not really say much till closer to 2, especially boys. He understands much of what I say he just doesn’t try to repeat it. I’m definitely going to mention it at his next well child appointment I’m just wondering if any other moms dealt with the same thing!?

My 15 month now can pit two words together and talk really good. But my oldest son d idnt start til around 24 months. I was told yesterday at my son's 15 month appointment that a lot of kids don't start until 2 so I think your little guy is probley fine . Mine has siblings to learn from and read books a lot that helps

@mrsgoulding, it’s so hard not to compare your child to others around their same age so I worry myself. Aiden will go get me things he wants rather than point to them or he will try to use my hand to get it rather than try to say what he wants. I really hope he starts finding the interest to talk soon! 😕

I'd try reading books and point at the words with him

It's hard not to compare kids. My daughter didn't have many words til just before a year. Then they just came. We read lots of books. There's also a non-profit free book a month for kids under 5.
In my area it's run by the united way through Dolly Parton. And has targeted the communities that are lower income. Not sure if the program is in other communities or something similar to this. We also go to story hour at the local library. I stopped a few weeks a because of being so close to my due date and winter but I plan on going back in the spring. My daughter loves it and then she plays with the babies/toddlers who are her age after!

@gracelynnsmama, Aiden is part of the imagination library! And we do read books throughout the day and always before bed! I definitely try my hardest to teach him.

@samanthaann then I think he just needs a little longer

I wouldn't stress it at all. My daughter didn't say her first actual word till 18months. Once she hit two it's like the switch turned on and she hasn't shut up since! Lol.

@mrsgoulding, hey that’s better than Aiden! Aiden says dadada and occasionally mama usually when he wants to nurse. Other than that nothing 🤷🏼♀️

Let him watch educational shows, read to him and and point out objects, another thing when he points at something try to say what it is at least 3 times get him to say something, even a noise before you give it to him. He'll eventually catch on.
