Speech
So my son doesn’t say any words and I don’t know what to do? I don’t know if it’s because he has his dummy in 24/7 (he’s just so dependant on it) or if I’m doing something wrong 😭 he babbles but that is about it. I try and sit him down to sing songs and read books I’ve bought but he just starts getting aggravated until I let him do his own thing. I’m really looking for some advice on what I can do if anyone has any would be really appreciated

I would recommend speaking to ur health visitor. My little girl has started saying a lot more words since she has started watching miss Rachel
@Mera started watching some miss Rachel this morning and seems to love it. I haven’t seen my health visitor since just before he turned 1
My girl has been watching miss Rachel for two weeks now and she has picked up on so many words she says quack quack, go go go, oh no and she does the clap clap and twist lol. Its so cute
@Mera ah definitely will keep up with miss rachel and hopefully will bring something on x
Miss Rachel is great. Hasn't taught my LG to speak but she's learnt so much sign from her so we know how to communicate with her. X
@Emma yeah I noticed the signing straight away x

So I saw the HV today because I just wanted to get some second opinions on my LG speech. She used to be able to say 6 words but she's stopped talking and doesn't really babble much. I've taken the dummy away in the day now for the last week or so, and it only comes out for nap time or if she's upset. I hide them as soon as she wakes up and they don't leave her bedroom. I do rake one when we're out as an emergency. HV said today that they don't do anything til after 2 with speech and any kind of speech therapy wouldn't benefit her currently as she's young. She will have a check up at 27 months to see where she is. She said things to encourage: reading and singing; counting things; animal noises; describing what you do when you can asking them to try and copy you, asking if they can say the word. As long as the understanding is there and they listen and understand you they aren't too concerned but if you have any concerns talk to your HV. I went to a drop in center today ❤️
