I am getting increasingly concerned at my 16 month old daughters lack of words. She can only say 'gone'. She babbles all day long and we talk to her and read to her to try to encourage her to speak but she doesn't seem to want to. She can point, wave and clap and I know she understands a lot but doesn't say any words even though she must recognise some. I hope that she will get there eventually but the more time goes on the more I worry.
Any advice welcome, thanks.
