DS's cousin is the same age as DS and has not said any words yet (he is two and a half years old). He has never said 'mama' or 'dada'. I said to the dad that maybe he ought to check with HV/GP to see if there's anything that's wrong, but the chances are he is just a bit slow with development and it's probably nothing to worry over. He said they aren't worrying and that he will get there eventually.
Would you contact a HV if your child was like this??
I personally was concerned when I heard this (haven't seen their DS for over a year now). What's your opinion? Anyone else experience this?
