My 18-Month-Old Child Not Talking by Oooops: 2:34pm On Oct 23, 2019
Hello Guys,

Kindly assist. I have an 18months old child (1year 6months) but he is yet to talk.

He only makes sounds and gesticulates. He also hum when baby sings are being played or atleast tries to blab along but that’s all.

He has not said any real thing like daddy or mummy or anything at all.

I have met children who are not up to 1yr or even 1yr and some months already talking. This is getting me worried. Should I be worried

Parents pls I need your opinion on what I should do.

Mods kindly assist for broader suggestions. Beginning to get desperate.

Nothing serious. Since he hums, he's obviously not dumb. Children grow at different pace, some talk early while some don't. Same goes to every other developmental state. Some walk as early as 7months others 11months and even sometimes above that. That doesn't mean anything is wrong with the child.
Just continue to take good care of ur child and love him. You can enrol in a creche as mixing with other children also helps.
No cause for alarm.

Take the Child for a Cognitive Function Test.

Hard as this statement might sound, your child may be mentally retarded. Possibly Down's syndrome

You need to find a good speech therapist.

You need a good one.

The good thing is that kids with speech difficulty at infancy have a good chance of becoming multilingual because language learning skills for them are purely nurtured.

Your Gem is only taking his time. Be clearer when talking to him.

Albert Einstein started talking at age of 2 and he's regarded perhaps one of the best brains ever lived. Nothing serious

If he's ur first, no cause for alarm. I will suggest to take him to a daycare center let him relate with his peers.
