14month old - No words/ not speaking

Hi All,
Just seeing if anyone can please give me some advice. My nearly 14month old DS has no clear words as yet... He is very vocal and babbles alot but isn't speaking any words and doesn't copy anything we say... He say 'mamama' but it's not directed at me, so he isn't connecting the babble with me...
He's doing well in most other areas, makes good eye contact with ppl, laughs and giggles, is engaging, responds to his name, claps, waves to hi and bye, points to things he wants, points to things he finds interesting, sleeps through the night, walks, fairly good eater....
At his 12 month check, the Dr indicted at 1year he should have 2 clear words other than Mum and Dad... I wasn't concerned at the time, but 2 months later there's still no speech...
Do you think I should be worried? Or just wait & see?
Thanks so much Smile

Your child sounds perfectly bright for their age - understanding words and communicating.

I can’t remember my child speaking at 14 months - but now 2.5 years it’s non stop - seriously only happened in the past 9 months or so.

Definitely don’t worry yet.
My daughter is really speech delayed at 2.5years, but 14 months is way too early to worry about it.
