A. don't worry.. kids speak after completion of 22 to 24 months.. even some kids start speaking only after they enter a school and meet kids of their age.. siblings speak more early

A. Hello, your baby boy is 16 months old and he doesn’t speak at all so don’t worry see if he has a tongue tie beneath it and consult with your speech therapist

A. Hello dear parent! Few babies have delay in their speech and it is normal. Communicate more with your child, keep telling stories and encourage your child to express and care. Few elders suggest to give a teaspoon of honey in the mornings for better health and speech. Be patient and persistent in your efforts. Good luck and take care.
