We’re now 17 months old and still no words.. I saw people saying theirs were doing two word sentences… please tell me we’re not the only ones with no words, lots of babbling but no actual words.

No proper words here either except for dada and mama, and certainly no sentences! 🙃

We’re in the same boat. Plenty of babbling. He’s constantly saying mama then occasionally dada. But no actual words. He’ll do different sounds like ‘lalala’ or what sounds like yeaahhhh’ lol x

My girl doesn’t say loads, she babbles all day long and she says some words of row row row your boat and twinkle twinkle little star but she doesn’t say much else. I just sing to her alll the time and narrate everything especially when we’re out and about! Some just take longer x

Same here, no real words. He occasionally stumbles on something but will only say Dada unprompted. He can say mama and baba but won't really unless we ask. Says things like uhhuh and yeaaa but mostly just babble.

Please try not to worry and compare to other people. I know this is hard but as a mum to three I can tell you o used to worry so much about this sort of thing. Every baby is different, and even with my three absolutely nothing was the same between them. My daughter (now nearly 15) spoke very early but didn’t walk until she was 18 months! My son, (now nearly 12) only said a few words by the time he was 2 so I was very worried and got a referral to speech and language. Had one session and then literally the next week he went from a few words to full phrases. This was nothing to do with the session either as it was just the introduction. He just took his own time and there was nothing to worry about. Our youngest (now 18 months) speaks a lot but is quite behind with his gross motor skills. Still walks like a baby rather than a toddler and falls over ALL the time. If you are still worried once 2 year check comes along mention it then, but try not to worry xxx
