Hello,

My son is 1 year and 5 months old and he hasn't started speaking. He goes to the creche 5 days a week as I am a working mom. At home we speak Malayalam, but at creche it's english and tamil. I read a lot of books to my son and he understands everything perfectly. When I tell him we'll go for a bath, he rushes to the bathroom. He also rushes to watch the TV when his favorite ad comes up. He enjoys listening to music and dances when the tune is fast.

He does say a few words like 'Dada', 'Tata' and 'Byee', but they are not very frequently used. Can somebody advice if it's too early for me to start getting worried and if not then when exactly should I start getting worried?

Thanks,
Alka.

Don't worry about it . My son is 20 mos old and he gives us only a few syllables not even words - like lo-lo for lorry , and moo-moo for moon . But he understands everything - he will give flying kiss to moon if I ask him to !! Shaila replied. As ruchika say there's nothing worry, but still i suggest you see a doctor, a specialist and get his opinion.

Take Care
