#asktheexpert my son is turning 2 years in next month. he has not started speaking yet. though he says few words (very minimal like Amma, akka, amba etc) but can not see effort from him to learn or pronounce new words. No issues with his hearing and other activities. he able to understand our instruction and also able to communicate his needs with gesture. should I be worried at this stage?

A. Hello there ma’am, please do not worry about it too much. Babies start to speak small words like maa and paa by the age of two yaers and make small sentences by the age of three years. Please give eggs and chicken to the baby. Also give chicken soup to the baby. Please give banana shake and ragi porrige to the baby. Please give lots of green vegetables and dairy products and soaked almonds to the baby on daily basis. Please limit soda and juices and high fat foods like chips or biscuits or cakes etc. Thanks and take care
