Hi everyone
I'm a FTM to my 9 month old daughter. She is very loud with lots of screeches, shouts, grunts, raspberries etc but nothing close to babbling at all. If I try to make sounds for her to mimic such as mamama she just laughs back at me.
She was starting to clap when asked but seems to have stopped that (although I may have just bored her to death asking her to do it!)
She is trying very hard to crawl at the moment but not there yet.
I mentioned to my HV I was concerned and she told me to wait until 10 months and call back if still no sign of babbling.
I don't think she has a problem with her hearing as she responds to her name, toys, loud noises, daddy coming into the room etc.
She is a great eater and sleeps 12 hours a night but am getting worried about her speech particularly as all my friends babies of the same age seem to be babbling away.
Has anyone had any experience of late babbling or advice etc? Am I just being over anxious?
Thanks
