A. It's not uncommon for some children to take longer to start speaking than others. By 1 year and 8 months, many children typically begin to say a few words, but there is a wide range of normal development. Since your baby responds to her name and follows commands, it indicates that she is likely understanding language, which is a positive sign. It can be helpful to engage her in interactive activities, read to her regularly, and encourage her to mimic sounds and words. Reducing screen time, as you have done, is beneficial for language development. However, if she does not start to utter any words in the coming months or if you have concerns about her speech development, it’s advisable to consult with a pediatrician or a speech-language therapist for further evaluation and guidance. They can provide personalized recommendations and strategies to support her language development.
