Toddler speech delay and calling dad by name..

My son is also a little behind with his speech. I’m not too concerned as he is trying. My son was born with severe tongue tie I didn’t get it cut until 10 weeks old. When they did finally cut him, they said that he has a high pallet which could affect his speech later on with certain sounds which I’m guessing it has.

Do you call Dad by his name or do you call him dada daddy in front of little one? What was he around? People a lot who calls Dad but his real name because that could be why x

I’m pretty sure she has a high palette and tight lip tie so I’m sure that’s not helping and she also has a little lisp. Keep contacting people and get passed around so we’re not getting anywhere. X
They said she had a lip tie when around 9 wees after metioned it at least 10 times and noticed when feeding but wouldn’t cut as she was bottle fed due to not being able to breastfeed. X

As robynne has suggested, what do you and others call dad around LO? They will mimic you, ao if you have always called him "Jeff" then they will call him that too. My son sometimes calls me and dad Babe because thats what we call each other most of the time 🤦‍♀️.

Then again my partner has always called his mum and dad their names since he was about 4 (he didnt talk until then, autism) because in his logic brain how would his mum know which mum he was calling for in the shop if he just shouted mum. His brain didnt accept that she would recognise his voice. But unless you have a lot of other signs, it is waaaay more likely to be the first reason 😊
