In general, babies start speaking around the age of one, but there are a few babies who are already two and a half years old and still cannot speak clearly. If you want something, you may also struggle to express it clearly. So, is it normal for babies to not speak?
Normally, babies do not speak abnormally. Because by the time a baby is ten months old, they should be able to imitate making sounds, and by the age of one, some may call them 'dad' or 'mom'. At 18 months old, I can say 10 words, and at 2 years old, I can say some simple nursery rhymes.
If the baby doesn't speak, it should be treated according to the situation. Firstly, the baby simply does not speak, but can receive messages from their parents, such as asking the baby to help carry things or executing some simple instructions. If this is the case, don't worry too much, just guide the baby more on a daily basis, communicate and interact with the baby more. Secondly, pay attention to whether he interacts, such as eye contact, and can make eye contact when speaking. If you don't listen or watch, pay attention to whether it is an early manifestation of autism.
Due to the significant differences in the development of each baby, some are early and some are late. If the baby is still unable to speak after the age of 3, it is necessary to consider whether the baby is caused by physiological reasons or developmental delays. If the baby speaks late, you can gradually guide the baby to speak and observe whether it can be improved. If it still doesn't work, then go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
