Talking

So my first child didn’t speak till about 2, but would say mama, dada, this (while pointing.) My daughter also 19 months says about 20-30 words, not sentences but she can say, mama, dada, nana, cat, dog, help, ouch, bye bye, hi, Barbie, no, cookie just to name a few. If they are the only child in the house I’d say not to worry all kids speak on their own terms. I think my daughter speaks a lot because she has an older sibling 6 years older than her so she tries to keep up. If you feel concerned I’d reach out to the pediatrician.

My child is almost 19 months but he doesn’t say any word at all! He can understand but no words, just babbling. I am taking him to speech therapist

You can always discuss with your pediatrician if you are concerned! But flash cards aren’t really all that useful for learning to talk. It sounds like receptive language is good if he can point to objects you name!

If you google 18 month expressive language milestones you can see if your child is meeting them, and then you know specifically what to ask the pediatrician about.

Yes, she’s getting evaluated in oct for speech therapy
