POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. At 2 years old, most toddlers can say 50+ words and start forming 2-word sentences (e.g., "Mama come" or "More milk"). If your baby speaks only a few words but understands what you say, follows instructions, and tries to communicate with gestures, it’s usually normal but might indicate a slight speech delay.
🔍 When to Worry?
🚨 Consider consulting a doctor if your child:
❌ Says less than 20 words by 2 years.
❌ Doesn't combine 2 words (e.g., "big car") by 2.5 years.
❌ Doesn’t try to imitate sounds or words.
❌ Has poor eye contact or doesn’t respond to their name.
✅ How to Help Improve Speech at Home?
✔ Talk More: Describe everything (e.g., "Now we eat an apple. It's red and round!").
✔ Read Books Together: Picture books help with new words.
✔ Sing Rhymes & Songs: Repetition helps speech development.
✔ Encourage Response: Ask simple questions like "What is this?" (pointing at objects).
✔ Limit Screen Time: Too much mobile/TV reduces speaking practice.
🔹 When to See a Speech Therapist?
If speech doesn’t improve by 2.5 years, consider a speech therapy consultation.
Does your child understand and follow instructions well (e.g., "Bring your toy")?
