Hi my lo is 15 months old and only says daddy and just about mummy but only very occasionally. He doesn't really babble a lot either and generally is quite quiet. At what age did your lo's start to say words as should I be worried? He seems to understand what I am saying and can follow simple instructions like lets get dinner or let's go outside and he will go stand by the door. Guess I just expected him to be talking a bit more by now.

15 month old not saying much??

My LO is 20 months and doesn't say much. She can but just won't, at 15 months she was saying no, juice, ball etc and now can say no don't put it there, I don't want that one etc , she has really come on in the last 5 months, you can have a full blown conversation with her now. Well if she feels like it!

My lo is 17 months and doesn't say much. She babbles a lot and says "words" but I struggle to make them out most of the time. When I pick her up from nursery though they tell me what she has said today and I'm like 'oh that's what she's saying'. I guess they are more used to it.
She can understand some instructions too. I'm not worried though and don't be worried either. The saying goes walk at 1 and talk at 2 ☺️ X

My 16 month old son only says mama, dada and door (he's currently using door for everything else too). In contrast, my daughter was saying two word sentences at 17 months, so this is all very different for me, but apparently quite normal. I wouldn't worry just yet!

I wouldn't worry too much. The main thing is that she is able to understand what is going on etc. The best thing to encourage her is just talking to her loads through the day, reading to her etc. The more words they hear, the more they have to copy.

My friends little ones both hardly talked before age 3 but caught up in the end. I wouldn't worry at this point as your lo is still very young for speech x

When DS turned two (Jan), he could say: Mumma, dada, yeah, hiya, buh-bye. Thank you was "agg-ooh".
I got him to HV, and mention my concerns over his talking (by two they should have like, 50 words), and they referred him to audiology.
He had that a couple weeks back, and confirmed glue-ear in both ears, so he can't really hear properly, what is said to him, or what he's replying.
He'll have another check in a few months to see if it's cleared.
In just three months, he's come on a long way. Says all of the above, counts to 13, says red, yellow, and blue, "there it is", uh-oh, oh no, oh dear, he sings along with "let it go" (not clearly, but enough to know that's what he's doing), and a few other odds and ends.
15 months is still early hon, and they do things so flippin quickly at this age... One minute, they can't walk a step, next they're running away from you...
Crazy.
I honestly wouldn't worry at all at such a young age xx

Just from a different perspective .......
My eldest Son is 3 years 9 months and has autism. He is totally non-verbal. He has never said a single word. He makes lots of noises but no words at all.
In my honest opinion if your nearly two year old can say even a handful of words they are doing well.
My youngest is 2 years 1 month and has yet to say his first word. Fortunately he doesn't show any autistic traits like his Brother so we're hoping he's a little bit behind with speech because he's copying how his Brother communicates.
Give your little ones a good chance at talking as they really do develop at such different rates. However if you have a genuine concern like we did with Jack (he has unusual mannerisms and behaviours as well as no speech) then don't hesitate to talk to your HV's or Doctors but I truly believe Parents know best and there is far too much pressure on our babies to develop like each other when they are all completely different! x

I was really worried about my youngest as he seemed so far behind in his speech compared to his brother at a similar age. I have to keep telling myself that they are different and develop at different rates, he's much stronger and a better climber than his big brother. His speech is actually really good, he's recently starting saying quite a few new words. If you have concerns do speak to your HV x
