I was just on here for some reassurance! My twins are almost 15 months old DD is babbling and very close to her meaningful words! But my DS still cannot babble not matter how hard I try! he had just started walking and is all about getting around! he makes good eye contact and answers to his name, claps, waves. He doesn’t point but we’ve never really practiced pointing so I’m not too worried about that one l, he keeps making the sound mmmm, hhhhh, ttttt & bbbb so I do think he’s getting there but I’m so just so stressed when I read about it the first thing you see is autism! We had an appointment with the health visitor last week and she isn’t worried and she’s happy to allow him to catch up. But I cannot help but worry! Bab

He's letting his sister do all the talking! It sounds like he's making progress in lots of ways, so don't worry. 🙂
If he's showing no signs of talking by 24 months, then you might consider whether there are other signs of autism. But that's a long way off. Just keep talking lots around him and talking to him, reading books, singing, going to toddler groups, putting on kids music or TV show etc. 😊

Thank you for replying!! Yeah if I’m speaking to him or anything his sister will answer for him! I try to do one on one time with him! But anyone who’s a twin mom knows how much of a struggle it is to do that🙈 he loves miss rachel, nursery rhymes and goes to nursery! Gonna definatly try and get some more reading time in!
