My baby mostly babbles. She doesn’t say many words & her doctor is concerned. Should I be concerned, or I shouldn’t worry just yet?

None verbally here! She’ll do a few signs which count though. Our doctor just wants 10 by 18 months which is standard and we’ll go from there!

5-10 words

Every child talk at there own pace

Mine says mama, dada, up, down, yea, bubble, duck… a lot of things but just keep working with her and talk to her like she’ll respond. Also Ms. Rachel Songs For Littles is amazing for speech development!

My daughter is 15 months and has been saying words since 11 months. Lots of mamamama, bro, cat, peach (our cats name) eat, pouch, she loves the Ch sound words, dada, animal sounds, bath, ouch, oops.. lots more. She really shocks me because I had 2 late talking boys before her. My boys didn’t start talking until 2/3 years old and I would definitely take them to speech therapy if I had my daughter first. Realizing how much this age is capable of saying. She loves Ms Rachel and I think Songs for littles has been great. I did start her with animal sounds and that laid out a great foundation. All kids are different but there is definitely things you can do to help. Narrating your day together is great. Talk to to her like you would if she would talk right back.

Mine says about 7! Most of those are pretty recent. Speech therapy is a great resource- even if she would end up talking just fine on her own a little later it couldn’t hurt to get some help now!

My lil lady will be 2 on 12/12 and still no words. She makes a lot of noise tho and laugh a lot but never anything we can make out. I’m sure the words will jus pour out one of these days

a good bit. more than 10. I’ve been writing down everything she says. We watch a lot of Ms. Rachel and we are always talking and interacting although it’s normal for a few at this age and he will probably go through a language burst soon. kids develop so differently. My ex is autistic and didn’t speak until 4 years old. He is incredibly smart and a level 1 I think, meaning he didn’t have a high level of needs.

My 16 month old son also watches Ms. Rachel and I interact with him while he’s watching it and his vocabulary has skyrocketed this month. He says bubble, ball, uh-oh, mama, dada, nana, titi (meaning bottle) and La, La, La like he’s singing. He’s also been putting words together like he’ll say “mama” and I’ll say “what” and he’ll say “titi” or “bubble” because that’s what he wants. He’s getting so good at communicating.

My son says hi/hey, eat, juice, huh, mama, dog

My baby doesn’t say much but he’s an only child he babbles things when he’s mad or happy

yes!! I never showed him miss Rachel but one day I did and 3 days later he was saying ready, set, go! He also learned to say woof woof when we ask what a dog does

My daughter’s pediatrician says at this age they should be saying about 3-5 words. My daughter is saying idk maybe closer to 20? I’ve lost count. She doesn’t say sentences though. Ball was a easy word for her to learn try that if you haven’t! A lot of repetition and watch miss Rachel with her and participate as well! She shows a lot of good tips on teaching Littles words as well
