Shahana SulaimanMom of a 1 yr 5 m old girl2 months agoA. Yes, that's normal!
At 1 year and 3 months, babies start with simple sounds and basic vocabulary. Saying "Pappa" and "Mamma" is a common milestone. Boost language development with:
- Regular talking and object description
- Reading story, sensory, and board books
- Responding to babbling and gestures
- Face-to-face interactions with eye contact and smiles
Ditch screens (TV, phones, etc.) and focus on interactive play to support language skills. This sets the stage for future learning!
POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. Yes, it is still within the normal range. By 15 months, many children may say only a few words like “mama” or “papa” and use gestures or sounds to communicate. Each child develops at their own pace. Encourage speech by talking often, reading books, and naming objects during play. If your child makes eye contact, responds to sounds, and tries to communicate in other ways, that’s a good sign. However, if by 18 months there is still very limited speech or no improvement, it’s best to consult a pediatrician or speech therapist for early evaluation.
