My dd2 doesn't really talk at all. She is 2years, 6 months and the only thing close to a word is gack (quack). She makes a few sounds, mam, ba, da but not many. We get a lot of pointing, holding hands and taking us to what she wants, putting things in our hands and she is now getting really frustrated.
She never really babbled as a baby and we found out that she had tongue tie which was snipped about a year ago. To add complications we're a bilingual family, I speak Swedish and DH speaks English. I know she can hear and understand. If I ask her to get her shoes, she goes off and gets them and then finds her coat, scarf and hat as well. If you whisper the word icecream she runs to the freezer.
I've persuaded DH that we need to get the ball rolling and have a doctor's appointment next week. I feel really unsure about what might happen and what help we can get, at the same time I worry about her not speaking at all and that she is starting nursery school in september and still seems like such a baby to me.
Does anyone else have experience of this kind of speech delay or know what is likely to happen with the doctor and after?
