Please help, my 22 month old ds does not talk, he says random words and some are clear, like daddy, and some aren't like duckyou which means thank you. He does not say words unless really pushed and then they are pretty unclear. He does not seem to finish consonants well, for example, duck to him is duuuu. He is happy, affectionate, very physical (runs, climbs, walked early etc) and I took him to a speech therapist at 18 months who said he was speech delayed but she had no concerns. Today, my nursery school teacher said she had concerns over his development. I rushed him to a paedeatrician who said he thinks he is normal, and suggests some speech therapy. Has anyone had anything similar? Anyone got a 22month old or thereabouts who does not speak? I feel sick with worry that he is not developing properly and my husband thinks I am over-reacting.
