Speech

Yeah same here with our LG but think that's quite normal 🤷🏽‍♀️

I read somewhere not to be concerned until 2.5 years x

Our health visitor has said they would like him to say around 5 words by 15 months. So I’ve been worrying 🥲xx

No words here at all xx

I get a bit annoyed by HV saying “we would like xyz” as there’s so much variation on what’s normal

My son isn’t speaking any words, but he has a paediatrician (other health issues!) and she says he seems just disinterested in words and not to worry at all

We were referred to get his hearing checked (maybe worth checking if you’re worried) but his hearing is fine- I honestly think it’s just not a priority for him 😅 he’s too busy doing other sh*t, ok!

No words here, not worried.
We do baby signing and she knows a decent amount so we have some basic understanding of her wants / needs x

No real words here at just over 14 months. His babbling has definitely increased over the last few days and he can do mama, dada sounds and some others but they aren’t really words. I’m not concerned though!

Same here, lots of chat and she understands loads, but very few actual words. Keep getting hints of things like hello, dog, bye etc but then she starts random chatter again and it’s hard to pin down 😂
I think she’s more interested in climbing and destroying stuff than speaking for now.

My daughter has a few words and then can do a few animal sounds that means the animal. She will do them consistently for a few days and then they vanish again.

HV get on my nerves, I feel like they don’t know much at all and then just throw these sorts of comments around that cause a lot of worry. As someone above has mentioned Drs wouldn’t actually be concerned until much older. A friends little boy was slow to talk, when he was about 2 they went to a Dr and were told it wasn’t a concern until he was 3. He then started talking more about 2.5, he’s still a quiet lad at 9, so was just personality. Xx

Mine doesn’t say anything either ☺️

Yeah pay no attention to HVs! I learnt that the hard way with all the worry with the centile bollox! They caused me serious unnecessary anxiety when they know bugger all. The gps always laugh them off so says it all. My son says mama and babbles, not walking yet. I’m done worrying it achieves nothing and certainly won’t be asking advise from HVs again! C

It’s fine, some won’t start until they’re 3, if you’re worried you can always self-referred to a speech therapist
