I have a 2yo son (24mths) who isn't speaking. He has two words, which he can't say properly (I know that bits normal) and he seems to steadfastedly refuse to learn more. Occasionally he'll seem to say something recognisable at an appropriate time, but then we'll never hear it again. I know you shouldn't compare and they are all different, but friends children of a similar age have vastly more words. He's regularly read to and babbles like billy oh, but his speech is just progressing very slowly. I'm hoping you'll tell me I'm worrying over nothing, but don't want to miss the fact that he needs help. He's passed his hearing test but does seem to take a long time to respond to his name. Otherwise he's a happy, healthy little boy with bags of energy. I don't know if its relevant but he also has regular exposure to a second language, I don't know if this slows things down a bit/is confusing?
