A. its sufficient for now. kids usually learn to speak after completion of two years.. they will start copying you slowly.. start iron calcium and multivitamins supplements regularly and protein powder with milk twice a day

A. Hello dear parent! Few babies have delay in their speech and it is normal. Communicate more with your child, keep telling stories and sing and play together. Encourage your child to express and respond. Few elders suggest to give a teaspoon of honey in the mornings for better health and speech. Good luck and take care.
