My son was mute until 2 lol

That’s fine… https://www.asha.org/public/developmental-milestones/communication-milestones-birth-to-1-year/

He’s far too young, babbles is absolutely fine.

My sons never even said anything at 9 months. My first didn’t speak until he was nearly 3 then he never shut up lol. My little one is 2 and his speech is great but he didn’t start talking until he well after 1 xx

That's perfectly normal

No please or thank you? How impolite, should know better by 9 months 😂😂😂😵‍💫

@Irita 😂😂 righhhttt😂😂 well he is my first child and I don’t know when kids usually hit their milestones. Everything is still so new to me. But I guess I will get in my head because a few other people were talking to me and telling me that something might be wrong with my son because he is not talking full words yet and their child was at six months. And I will be honest it did discourage me a little bit, but I am happy to hear This is actually normal. Thank you everyone for the responses this makes me feel a whole lot better❤️❤️❤️

Honestly social media and some show off parents will make you feel like other kids are reading Shakespeare by one year old. Milestone for 18 months is 5-10 words and that includes made up words, shortened words, baby sign and sounds etc

This is more than normal

My son first said mama at 10 months, and he didn't really say anything else for 2-3 months after that. Now he's 21 months and saying new words every day!

That’s normal.

Totally normal! If you have concerns, speak with the pediatrician 😊

I think most babies say their first word (like “hi” or “mama”) around 12 months. Mine is 6 months old and has made some sounds that sort of sound like specific words, but it was not on purpose so it doesn’t count

It's very likely those saying their babies were saying full words at 6 months are grossly over exaggerating 🫣 Its incredibly rare for a baby to be using full words at 6 months, just ignore them. All babies develop at their own pace ☺️

Might be a learning delay. You might need a special doctor for that kind of situation, but the doctor would be able to tell you what programs are in your area if needed.

My one year old says some words but also sounds. She can say dada and sometimes “help me.”

@Kristina ? A delay because a 9 month old isn’t speaking ?

@Brittany I’m pregnant with kid #3 but that doesn’t make me a doctor. I just do what I can like anyone else on this app: support.
