Question

Accepted Answer

proper language / speech development will start between 18 months of age to 3 years of age. 
there is no need to worry before that just concentrate on the diet and regular interaction with the child.
also speech and language develops properly with more people available to interact with the child
avoid usage of tv mobile and laptop because they are the most common reasons for delayed speech and language development.

the most important thing is that before speech, understanding of the commands given by the parents should be present.x
by 18 months if the child is not following basic commands then only you have to meetd the doctor for speech and development assessment.
requirement of speech therapy will also be discussed by your doctor.

Hello dear parent! Communicate more effectively with your child. Encourage your child to express and share. Consult your doctor for evaluation and advice. Few elders give a teaspoon of honey in the morning for better health and speech. Read stories from Babyhug story books
