LM answered Tuesday July 5 2011, 12:38 pm: More than likely he is fine. Many kids in my family don't talk for a long time but otherwise develop normally. My baby (well more like almost two but she's a baby to me) cousin is months ahead in nearly every skill but says little more than babbles that might pass for mama and dada. If a doctor says the child is fine, they most likely are :)
By the way, my aunt first spoke this as her first coherent sentence:
"All clear on the right, Dad!" She was in the car with my grandparents and my grandma turns around, in shock, and says, "oh, you're talking now? Why not before?" My aunt then says, "I had nothing to say.." If a child is in an environment where every need is attended to, they may not make the effort to speak if they don't see the need :P
adviceman49 answered Tuesday July 5 2011, 11:13 am: Every child develops at a different rate. Some development is also based on their environment. Speech is a learned ability from our environment. If your sister/brother and others talk baby talk to your Nephew then his speech development will be slower.
If you have concerns with your Nephews' development you should suggest to your sister/brother that she consult you Nephews' pediatrician. Their are standard milestones the doctors use to gauge a child's development. The doctor can tell your sister/brother in what your percentile bracket he is in and what if anything should be done or needs improvement. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
