ExpertNeha KhannaEarly Childhood Educator6 years agoA. 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.

Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children6 years agoA. Babies talk around 18 months. They will be able to say simple words, point to objects and call their name. Every child is different and there could be early and late speakers. So u need not worry. The only key is to keep communicating with ur baby regularly. Question him and urge him to answer. Talk to him about everything that u see around. Tell more stories. A continuous verbal conversation with ur baby will improve his vocabulary and encourage him to speak more.
