DD1 (20m) is speaking really well, but for some reason can't say "L", she substitutes it with a "Y" - ie Lala is yaya. Shes got no other language problems, has a good vocab, is putting sentences together etc.

Is this a usual thing? Will she just pick it up at some point or is there something I can do to help?

Any advice much appreciated.

My ds was about 14 months old when he started to say "clock". Sadly he couldn't pronounce "l" at that point either - cue lots of sniggers when out and about with ds pointing and shouting "cock" every so often!
