Hi!
My son is 18 mo and I have a few concerns. Positives are he points to show (e.g. bird and says it) and ask for things. He copies sometimes (feed doll; brush hair; noises) though not all the time. He has 7 words which he uses in context. He will give eye contact and plays with children and toys appropriately e.g scribbles. He will get an object if asked but this is really hit and miss. Downsides are he is not clapping and waving just kinda watches and smiles when I try and get him to copy most things; doesn’t sleep well; responds to his name about half the time which has got worse last week or so; doesn’t really have any gestures other than pointing and asking to be picked up and doesn’t put 2 or more words together. He doesn’t follow my gaze either (though will follow a point). I’m quite worried- Should I be? Any words of advice really appreciated
