I am not sure whether I am worrying unnecessarily or not, so need some mn advice.
Very good friends of ours have a ds2 who is 4 months younger that our pfb ds. DH and I have little experience with small children, apart from our own and these friends' two sons, hence why I need to ask the question.
This little boy has had several very bad ear infections and his speech seems to be delayed, for example when compared to our ds. He is very bright and cheeky, but only has a few dozen words and they are often unintelligible. Dh is getting concerned and wondering whether we should say something about maybe getting some help from a specialist. But I am very conscious that children all develop at slightly different rates - for example he is already dry day and night, whereas our ds is nowhere near out of nighttime nappies.
So should we say something, or just shut up?
