@Cristine Macam-Pacheco your welcome, and God bless u/family. Especially ur 18 months old baby like mine!😃 when they're start talking for sure we need an ear plug! 🤣 just kiddin'! 😁

@sweetsalt27 thank you for this. My heart is smiling ☺️ God bless you.

@Roxette Klarissa ur pedia is not a good doctor to say that. Change ur pedia

@Cristine Macam-Pacheco u don't have too, u just have to wait. My son dont say any words too, just " mama mama mama mama" when he wants me to carry him, he don't have words but babbling as well when he's calling his cats, singing with his own tone when hears alvin the superstar introduction song. Nd bubbling everytimes he wants to play or wants something. Every baby has their own moment... and dont be depressed.. u should be proud every time his bubbling😄

My son is 18 months old. He saying most of the time when wants to be carry "mama mama mama". He likes singing, when his 13 months old, his first time in a vacation resort, he was like singing with high voice... literally singing but on his own dialect.. and now he's singing eveytime Alvin the superstar cartoon starts.. and his even calling our 2 cats to lay where he indicate to lay down... he do all if this, just when he wants. Can't wait for our baby to start talking!🤣🥰😍

Hey did he ever get any better ? My daughter is acting similar but she laughs , have some sort of reaction . She doesn’t respond to her name or point . She claps though . She says no but I don’t know if she does it because she really means no or not ...

Hell I tossed it the second I saw teeth the Pediatric dr. Agreed saying it's nothing but a habit after 6months

@Jenni H It's true. My son is 18 months and when he counts he points or has objects that he is showing the numbers with. I am very hands on with his development but he actually started doing that on his own. Some children understand the concept of counting rather early but most are repeating what they hear.

@J McK At 18 months my oldest could count to 10. It was route memorization and she didn't understand what she was doing but she could count. Also some very gifted children can actually count and understand what the numbers mean as early as 12 months. It's incredibly unlikely but definitely possible.

@J McK My 18mo old can also count to 10, but she misses numbers and needs me to count with her. We've been practicing counting since she was 1yr old. Some kids pick up verbal skills faster than others. It could be BS, but it might also be a fast learner.

Zaria bullshit

Ismail Sharifi there’s nothing to fix! Your son is beautiful and perfect. Love him the way he is, he’s ready when he ready or that’s just his nature.

Kasey Fletcher what kind of mimicry? i may be able to help you

Same

Mine too! Is your kid ok now?!

Mine too ☹️

Kattykat49 same. Has your toddler made any improvements?

Randall Syfert this can be very stressful. I feel with parents going through this in my line of work. If you'd like to reach out to me can answer any questions as best I can ☺

Randall Syfert hi i feel the exact same way but what i tell myself most days is give him time, love him lots and teach him, give him the chance to be himself and blossom, especially if he's reached the other milestones and im sure surpassed some. My son started interacting more and saying a bit more, follow your gut and be his biggest advocate 😊

How is your kid my friend?

Hailey Barker speak to their Doctor and PRAY to JESUS about it. GOD BLESS.

Leonidas Thao every child is so different and these milestones are quite flexible.

@AT Valle hi, so I'm another overly concerned parent. How can I DM you?

My baby is 15 months and is not talking, maybe because boys develop words later but his Dr wanted him saying 3 words by 12 months. He does say Mom, mama, baba, ball, papaw (not clearly) but I'm not sure he knows what it means as it's vague.

AmazingABA every child is so So different. I am a child development consultant and can help answer any questions you may have.

AmazingABA o

AmazingABA same with mine. i came to see wat is the average age for tlking.

@Elizabeth Conyers my eighteen year old doesn't speak although points sometimes.. I'm worried about how to go about.. what are your updates

AmazingABA my daughter at 18 months only says Dadda, momma and hot.

At the pediatrician they are babies till 2 and as far as people referring to their own children baby insinuates youngest and it's hard to give up on them being a baby.

To me there are still babies...at 2 maybe even 3

+Daisy Maha well now at 2 in just a few days. Her walking has improved a lot. She sometimes get her falls when running. But even that is slowly getting better. Her words are improvising good too. She saying more words then daddy all the time. She can even say about 2 or more sentences at times. Even does a great job memorizing the songs from your favorite cartoon shows she sings along too. Pointing however... not too much! Hoping that will improve once she is 3. :)

+liloboy911808 hii... hows ur toddler doing now ?? i have a 18 month girl ... all her milestones are achieved except talking ... she just says Daddy that too once in a blue moon, though she has her own babbling language.

Einstein did not start speaking until he was four

+pitipe my daughter moves a lot too. she usually calm when she's watching tv lol 😊

+liloboy911808 great to see that she has been improving so much. I hope my son stays still when doing the test. :)

@pitipe​ well the last time we took her they ran a few test. Such as, having her focus on sounds on which direction they're coming from, looking at pictures and stuff. She did great and pass. They did say she maybe just a little late on speech. Because back then she was not saying much. Now at 2 years old she does say a few words including a few sentences (2 or 3 maybe) . Her pointing...is ok!, her walking has improve great

+liloboy911808 Mine have an appointment too, how did everything went?

I was raised by those booked, when I came out on my birthday I was already able to recite the pledge of allegiance and I pumped so much iron I became a solid ball of muscle

Right!!

phillip eskridge I agree with you 100% I am well versed with developmental milestones because it is all I have done in the past 10 years. But a lot of the milestones just create unrealistic expectations and added pressure when we should really just enjoy our children ☺

phillip eskridge completely agree, I feel your pain

phillip eskridge holy cow.. 50-100 words? My son is 13 months old and he's just saying blah blah for the most part but understand words when I say dog, mom, dad no, yes and many others... He talks but it's not anything I can understand. He walks amazing if I hold just one hand. He walks with holding really well. I'm trying to find what is realistic goals for my child? It's made me feel like I'm not doing my father role well, it stinks! Doesn't help he's up at 430 am wide awake ready to go haha... Thanks for your comment - good to know we aren't alone! Can u or anyone recommend what is Good for him to watch or Listen to that will help him and not put him in a trance? These baby shows and baby first we don't always allow because he'll get in a trance sometimes? Thanks!

you are describing red flags of Autism spectrum disorder.

Neither does my son, he just attacks what he wants (i mean reaches for it) He doesn't respond to his name but he responds to Baby, Swamp Monster and Wrecking Ball hahaha I'm not worried at all. I just stop predicting his needs so he has to ask or point... It's harder for me not to use the pet names so it may be a while for his name to set in

babies just grow at they're own rate maybe it might take your daughter a litté longer to do things it's normal

May she focuses on something else or has ear infection you should ask her doc.

I feel the same. Please, tell me did anything has changed month later? (sorry for bad english)
