10 month old not pointing

[Countryside14]

My DD is 10 months now. I was just wondering when your DCS started pointing and showing you what they wanted. My dd babbles a but but not a lot yet. I hope it will come in time. She's VERY active and has been for 2/3 months now. Crawls very fast. Climbs the whole staircase, get on to the sofa all unassisted. Pulls up and stands for a long time. And can walk with her walker. She's been clapping and waving for a few weeks now but no pontong. As she can't talk or babble she just shouts when she wants something I think, or crawls to whatever she's got her eye on. I shouldn't compare but I do and I worry a lot about her.

Does anyone think I should be concerned. Everything I read stears towards autisum so it makes me worry.

My 3.0 year old just learnt to point. My 16 month old doesn't point but by golly you know what she wants!

Although everything I read says my 9 months they should point I've heard since alot of babies point nearer 12/14 months so hopefully it will come.

It's just joint/shared attention on a whole I'm worried about and pointing is a big part of that. So far she just seems to follow my finger and not what I'm actually pointing at.

What is "everything", because I've never seen anything which says a 9 month old should point, and I'm curious as to what you are reading which is expecting these super advanced babies!

Looking at your finger and not understanding that you're pointing at something is totally normal and expected for her age.

My son is 18 months and does not point or say anything yet. Plenty of babbles but no words. He will also not understand simple commands yet like pass me the ball, or where is the cat etc.
Am not worried, I did not utter a single word until I was nearly 3. Children develop in their own time.

It all started with a silly update email I got. I never read a single one since she was born. Then one day I opened one and it said about it and I just got caught up in it :(

That's encouraging. Thank you.

seriously pointing is 12-15 months ish. It is on the 2 year check list. Stop googling child development they are all different and develop in different ways.
