Baby speech

My LO doesn’t say any words yet but shows great understanding. I think I won’t be too worried unless he’s not speaking any words in the next 6 months but maybe mention it to your HV if you’re worried!
@Afifa thank you!
@Laura it’s the same for my son he definitely understands what I say but your right he may just need more time, thanks
I wouldn't worry some children don't say a lot of words until they get to 18 months old, he's understanding for his age is really good. Our little boy never repeats words my husband was trying to get him to repeat Dada for a while and one day he shouted Daddy for the first time in ASDA.
All babies are different, my little girl says so many words & is starting to put phrases together (her fave atm is “uh oh all gone) but she’s not walking yet! My friend has a little boy same age who’s been walking for a little while now but says v little! I think the only concern is if they’re not saying anything by 18m-2yrs x
My baby is the same and I asked my HV about it, she said it's not a concern as words can come anytime from now x
Mine days mumma the occasional dada and nanna but otherwise nothing and only seems to understand his name
My little one doesn’t shut up😂 probs has around 15 words now (mama, dada, nans, grandad, ball, birdie, hiya, bokbok, dumdum, bye etc. Really good at copying on the spot to but he is so lazy otherwise not long been crawling, wont hold his own bottle and cant walk yet so think there all just different 🙈 xx
I think he’s doing great for his age. Several speech therapists say signing is the same as words at this stage. It’s always good to monitor your child and definitely bring up any concerns you have regarding him with your GP but personally think this is all age appropriate for him :)
