My 27 month old son is still not talking. He babbles a lot. Says mumma, bu (blue) and ca (car). Understands almost everything said to him. Shall I be worried?

A. Stuttering and mixing up the order of words within a sentence are typical too. But these aren't usually considered issues at this age—your child is still learning! A 27-month-old not talking on the other hand, probably needs some extra help. Discuss any speech concerns with your pediatrician.
