Speech therapy?

Question

My son is 18 months and is completely uninterested in talking or learning how to talk. My daughter was talking a lot at his age and I'm getting worried 🙁
He HAS said words like "no" and "light" and says mama and dada but other than that he doesn't talk, just babbles. I'm assuming because he's almost 2 now that I should get him into speech therapy right?

Answer

Hey @cece how’s the little doing now? I am currently in the same boat with my 18 month old. Her speech therapy appointment is next Friday

Answer

My son is the same way. He’s 2 years and 5 months and says mama and dads but doesn’t know what that means. He babbles a lot too. 
He just started speech therapy two weeks ago and it’s in our home. We’ve been teaching him some hand gestures just to get him to communicate better. 
Do lots of play with her! Like with bubbles I’ll say pop pop when we pop them and he sorts of says it. He does more of the P sound lol it’s cute. Babbling is a good start though! Do animals sounds with her in the meantime and make sounds effects with the toys she plays. 
We got this girl! I was worried he had autism tbh.

Answer

Thank you everyone! He has an appointment with his ped on Friday so hopefully I can get peace of mind!

Answer

Like others said, talk to your pediatrician but also keep in mind girls tend to talk earlier than boys do.

Answer

Definitely talk to your pediatrician and they will get you in contact with early intervention if they’re concerned.
