POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. At 20 months, most children can usually say a few single words like “mama,” “dada,” or simple names of objects. If your baby isn't speaking even single words yet, it may be a speech delay, but it's not uncommon, especially if your child is otherwise active, understands what you say, makes gestures, or follows simple instructions.
To encourage speech:
Talk to your baby often during play and daily routines Read picture books and name objects repeatedly Limit screen time as it can reduce interaction Encourage imitation through sounds and actions
If there is no speech by 2 years or limited social response, it’s best to consult a pediatrician or speech therapist for early assessment. Early support makes a big difference.
