A. Hello.
Does your child have adequate eye contact and response to name skills ? If yes but the words or babbling is less ?
What you can do at home:-
@ Read to the child regularly
@ Talk in 1-2 word phrases like come here, let's go, up, eating, catch ball etc
@ Always look at the child while talking
@ Keep one language
@ Describe whatever the child is doing in short phrases
The timeline is as below for speech development.
• 6 and 9 months - babies babble in syllables, start imitating tones and speech sounds.
• 12 months, a baby's first words usually appear.
• 18 months to 2 years children - around 50 words and putting two words together.
• 2-3 years, sentences extend to 4 and 5 words
• 3 up - talk like an adult.
If not according to above, PLEASE VISIT A SPEECH PATHOLOGIST IMMEDIATELY TO SEE and DISCUSS THE SITUATION.
