At what age did your lil ones start to talk?

[mrs.pina]

My dd is 3 she started talking before she was even 1, now my ds is turning 2 in jan and he just started talking . I sometimes think that he is alil on the slow side but many tell me that it's normal ,that boy's tend to be alil behind then girl's.

My son started before he was one. Then 2 weeks before be turned one, he had a sezuire, which set him back. I had him drinking out of cups and, walking and, he gota set back. But, it didnt take him long before he started again.

Totally true an the same for my children. My son lets his sister talk for him a lot but now that he is 3 he is talking about everything even though its still hard to understand him sometimes.

They talked a little at 1. My son didn't talk clearly due to speech issues till around 4. My girls talked a lot by 2.

Each county and state has early intervention. Both my kids had speech very early and we didn't pay a dime. Call your ped for the number for early intervention

We didn't have the money either. All we had was medicade through the state. I took our son to his pediatrician. She shared my concern, and referred us to a specialist. Since he was referred, it was covered. Not sure what your situation is, but I'd look into it if you want to have them seen by a specialist. Good luck!

I have twin girls 32 months, 2 1/2 and they are still not talking. They use a lot of words but their pronunciation is unclear. I don't have the money to take them to a specialist. What should I do?

[Bethy16]

Both of my older kids were speech delayed. My son did not say his first word until he was 3. I knew at a year he was behind in speech and by 17 months he was getting speech therapy. He got it until he started kindergarten. My daughter was also delayed. Because she was premature and they adjust her age she was 2 when she started and she only for speech for about a year maybe less. He is now 8 and she will be 4 and neither of them shut up!! Lol my baby is now 7 months and I know she too will be delayed. She makes no sounds or babble. My kids just like to hold it back a little buy once they start watch out! Lol

 My little guy was a little behind on talking. We did baby sign language with him and I think that may have put him behind on speech. He didn't start putting work together well til he was 3. He then had speech therapy and still has therapy at 5.

Both ds started talking at 12 mo. But I have known of some kids to talk late

[mrs.pina]

My df and i were planning on doing the sign language thing with our son ,but he just doesn't get it he rather scream and play then learn for the moment . I guess it's normal but we are still taking him to a doctor .
