My daughter is 18 months and still not really talking. She says "mama" when she is upset and wants me. She also will randomly say "milk" and "dada" but if you point to something (me, my husband, the dogs, ECT) she will not even try to say what it is. She doesn't try to repeat us either. She does babble all the time though. I know she should be saying more words by now but should I be worried and looking into some extra help or just wait a few months? (She has been slow to reach most milestones but not this late)
My nephew is 18months and is exactly the same. I wouldn't worry just yet
My daughter only recently started repeating and talking more. To me, it can be normal but I know a lot of people now tend to intervene early on.
I wouldn’t worry my son only said few words until after he was 2 then he started talking in small sentences.
My son didn’t talk until he was around three, but still didn’t talk a lot. He is now four and a couple of weeks ago he’s started talking a LOT and does not stop 😂. He does have a few speech issues and goes to a speech therapist. Doctor was never worried because he always understood what we said to him, he just wasn’t ready to talk.
