When should you worry about pronunciation!?
My 19mo daughter says around 30 words, but only a few of them are said correctly. Most are almost unintelligible to other people but are consistent for her.
For example da doo is thank you, her tone even goes up and down like saying thank you, it just isn't pronounced correctly. Please is eeesh. Guc for stuck. Babee could mean rabbit, baby, boobie.. you get the idea.
She says mummy, bubble, up, and a few others perfectly.
When do I worry about the pronunciation? She had a 100% tongue tie at birth which was cut but I do worry how it may impact her speech.
Thank you!

I read that we don’t need to worry about that for a few years yet ☺️ Most of what my boy says starts with a G or B at the minute
“Not right now” is the only answer you need. 😅 please don’t worry! They’ll be coming up for their 2 year check when they can give you a better understanding (and advice if you need it) but to be saying 30+ words at this age is still amazing!
