Ds is nearly 20 months and has no words at all, not even mama.
Hv isnt concerned though and says he is doing well in other areas of communication/emotional development. She will refer at 24 months if there is no progress however.
I am curious though and would like to know if your dc just came out with their first word or if there was some sort of precursor to it.
DS has been babbling the same since he 6 months babababa, gagagaga, dadadad, mamama, diga-diga-diga. Since about 12 months he has also been pointing lots as well as the babbling, saying ah, uh, eh sounds but no words or even the made up words used in context.
