Pediatrician: It would be wise to have him examined by his pediatrician. While delays in speech are relatively common, with boys generally slower than girls in acquiring language skills, a thorough assessment for treatable causes at this point would be in your son’s best interest.

Communication: If a child is not babbling doubled syllables by 18 months, referral to speech services is recommended. It is very reassuring if your child understands language (receptive language) but by 3 years some expressive language is expected. Time to discuss with your pediatrician. Meanwhile, keep talking directly to your child and wait for his response.
