#asktheexperts hai my baby is 18 months old but didnt start to talk much... he just uses repetitive words like aaah and kaa but nothing verbal yet. Also he says maa to everyone around. Should i be worried?? Please help

A. no do not worry development by the age of 2 years the child should be able to speak few words with meaning in the sentence and should be able to understand all the commands and orders given by the parents and if you feel that they are not present in your child it is important to meet your pediatrician to assess the groowth milestones of the child and whether there is any need of therapy or not. if child has good understanding and follows orders and command of the parents properly then do not worry much about speech as will eventually come. talk more with child. avoid tv mobile laptop. involve more people to interact with the child
