I don’t think so. Kids develop at their own pace. She sounds like she is understanding quite a bit. She seems to be more verbal than my 14 month old boy, but he has great comprehension. He does the same actually. Doesn’t refer to us as mama or dada, but he says the words and shows that he knows who we are. If I tell him “go give this to daddy” he’ll go to him and if his dad says go give mommy xyz” or what not, he demonstrates that he knows who we are. He’s not really saying words yet but he demonstrates that he understands things. I can tell him to go find me a shape and he’ll come and bring it back. He knows in and out and up and down, and different things like that. I hadn’t been concerned about his vocabulary, but now that I’m hearing your concern I’m wondering if I should be. Lol.. But I’m sure our babies are just fine.. ☺️😇
Nope that all sounds great. But son didn’t do any of that until after 2 so doing at 14 months is amazing
You’re okay! They are sponges and will adapt to learning and usage at different milestones. You can always double check with your ped at the 15 month appointment! My kid doesn’t know any animal sounds or names. But knows about ten words with context and he understands wayyyy more than that. He knows Dada for his dad but mama is just anything he wants. We just reinforce that “mama” is me. So when he says “mama” my husband doesn’t respond and I always say something like “yes, that’s me!” Or “yes, buddy?” to get him to associate “mama” with me.
Okay thank you all! Someone mentioned they were surprised she wasn’t saying any of it and that most 14 months old were 🤦🏻♀️so I freaked out lol ❤️❤️
Mine just babbles mama and dada randomly. Sometimes she says dog and points to them, but not us haha. At 14 months we just had our 12 month appt (gotta love scheduling) and Dr didn't seem concerned
We only got mama and Dada deliberately in reference to us recently, like within the last month, and we are 15.5 months now. But mine was doing more or less the same at that age. I know she understands a lot because she follows simple instructions. Sometimes words also aren't what you expect they may be - I figured out she was saying "Ty" a lot, and that it actually was her word for "talk." If you're seeing progress daily and improvement week to week, that's the most important thing. Once the progress does start to come, it comes fast.
Well sh*t. If you're in trouble, I'm in deep sh*t. My son doesn't do any of that. He definitely doesn't point at anything 😶🌫️
