A. you should involve baby in more talking . Language is a slow process and will take time for a good clear speech . So any screen time like T . V or mobile screen should be restricted as this may delay the speech . Also a speech therapist can be consulted for the same .

A. Hi mom If ur baby is making eye contact and understand what you are saying, follow ur instructions then no need to worry. Some babies they start to talk late. And giving too much screen exposure causes delay in speaking. So the more u communicate the sooner baby will learn to speak
