Speech

Is anyone else’s speech with their little one delayed 🙁. Only saying a handful of words. And not consistently. Trying not to worry as health visitor says she isn’t overly worried and as he understands everything and his gross Motor skills are above what he should be doing.

Our little one is bi-lingual and he is just starting to really talk. He will be 2yo end of this month and he started talking overnight roughly a month ago. Before that he wasn't even trying or repeating anything, not even animal sounds.

He says a handful of words. Like yeah when asked a question. Or there or that (but replacing the TH with a D) But doesn’t repeat anything at all. Xx

How old is he now? It can literally happen overnight. I would encourage with reading him books, nursery rhymes on youtube etc. Lucas never even said animal sounds and then all of a sudden he said butterfly when he saw one. If they are developing gross motor skills, they cant develop language at the same time. And boys are usually more focused on movement than speech :)

He just about to turn 2 at the end of this month. We constantly explain things to him and read and sing all the time xx

My little one is the same If that makes you feel any better 💗

Hiya! My little boy is saying only a few words and he’ll only say when he wants 😅 if I ask him what’s this he’ll look at me but then I hear him say the word so I know he knows - he understands us but I’m not overly worried right now, covid hasn’t been great for development and as parents were just trying our hardest ay! X

My little boy is 2 next week and he's so far behind his little friend (born 1 day apart) in speaking. She's amazing. It made me feel so anxious at first. He's saying some words but doesn't copy that much. He's so independent and does what he wants. It'll come xx

My little boy is 2 next week and he was hardly saying anything two weeks ago and now he doesn’t stop copies everything you say as well. I was so worried about his speech but your wee one will chat away once he is ready 💙 I got Mummy for the first time yesterday 23M and 21 Days old 🥰

My wee one is 26 months, says very little but is as bright as a button otherwise. Will wait until he is 30 months
