My baby boy will be 18 months old this week. He hardly speak. Only says baba and dada, that is also very rare. Is he a late talker? We talk with him like all the time. Still he isn’t saying any words. He only make ‘ah’ sound and uses hand gesture to make us understand. I’m really worried about this. What to do?
