Baby laya is18months old.talks only few words.is it ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal speech: An 18 month old generally has 15 or more words. Count the words. Don't count mama or dada. If less see if the number increases over the next 1 to 2 months. If no increase cmd and go for speech therapy. Check your family history. Many families just start later.
