#asktheexpert sir/ madam, my baby speaks partially like maa, mummy and just bables or use hands to show things that he wants.. somebody told me that if he doesn't speak now he will have difficulty in speaking his entire life. is this true. we' ve tried different things to teach him to speak but he just smiles at us whenever we tell him to speak. I'm really very worried is this normal??
