I am very concerned, my son just turned 11 months and his has not yet said his first word.?

Question

He walked at just 10 months and seems advanced in other areas. I am getting very worried that something is not right when it come to his speech. He doesn't talk at all. The most is mama mama ....dada.. baba...that kinda stuff. Any advice from experience?

Answer 1

There's no cause for concern just yet... My daughter is 13 months and is still doing the same thing. Though she definately makes her wants known through other means. As long as your baby is communicating with you through sounds, gestures, and the like, I wouldn't worry about the lack of actual understandable words. Babies all develop at their own pace.

Answer 2

I raised my nephew for 18 months he wouldnt say anything but hot and mama nothing else like you I was worried so i kept bugging my Dr about it he said all kids develope different and what do you know he was right my nephews now 3 and wont stop talking so enjoy the silence while you can dont rush him he'll talk when he wants to ;op

Answer 3

Don't be concerned at all, he'll speak when he's ready.
As long as he's able to make noises than he'll be able to talk. He won't do it a moment before he's ready to though, so try to relax and enjoy the quiet.

Answer 4

its normal for boys to talk later than girls!! he was an early walker, so im sure nothing is wrong! some babies just talk later..my godchild is 3 and he still doesnt talk, but hes a very happy, healthy boy! just make sure you are talking to him alot during the day... and enjoy the quiet for now...because once they start talking...they do not stop..lol!
