[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe the answers here. This is totally normal. Cdc guideline says "tries to say 3 words in addition to Mama and dada". At 24 months, only 50% of kids can say 50 words. Every child speaks on their own timeline. There is really not much you can control, though people want to think they can. At some point, it will click for her. Parent of two boys who were both on the slow side of talking. Both were probably at around 5 words at 18 months, if that. [/quote] You may not know this, [b]but the CDC revised and downgraded thier milestones last year [/b]because so many kids have been showing delays since the pandemic. It's not healthy to expect less of our children.[/quote] DP. This has been the same milestone for at least the last 10 years. I'm a pediatrician, and it has been like this on the clinic screening to I've used since at least 2014. Stop being a twit about this.[/quote]
