#asktheexperts my baby is 14 months old and he haven't spoken a word yet not even mama and dada. it makes me worry about how to improve his speech.

A. hi dear Baby talk at 12-18 months. Most babies say a few simple words like "mama" and "dadda" by the end of 12 months -- and now know what they're saying. They respond to -- or at least understand, if not obey -- your short, one-step requests such as, "Please put that down."
