Not talking by 2

[Amy1997]

My daughter is turning 2 in a few weeks and she still isn't talking! She has said Mam , dad but hasn't said them for nearly a month now. She has a mild hearing problem but does seems to hear sounds fine. She loves music and running about with her brother. But she won't play with toys at all (dolls ect),the only things she will play with are blocks and musical toys. She is very cuddly and knows what she wants. She also doesn't point. I'm very worried as what this could be as I feel she is very behind.

My son began to talk 3 months ago at 27months....
...Now hes talking in 4/5 word sentences and even asking questions, it may be the same for your LO, sometimes it all just comes at once.

SaLT don't take referrals until 3 generally. But I was told by the therapist to model language for him and read books (which we were doing anyway) x

@DiaDino I really hope it does as I try not to worry and compare to other children her age but that's easier said than done. I hope she starts talking soon but a lot is just babble x

@Amy1997 Babbling is a really good sign still. She's still figuring out what sounds she can make and trying to communicate x
