Baby has 0 words at 1 years old
Hi all! FTM. Baby just turned one a few days ago. He still has no words. No mama, dada, etc. he does babble and most frequently says “ah” when reaching for things.
Pediatrician said most babies have 1-3 words by 1 years old and said maybe he’ll start speaking “in a few weeks”. Not sure what to make of that.
He’s met most other milestones, is happy, makes eye contact, laughs, engages, etc. He isn’t walking yet but seems pretty close. I try and trick him into walking (when he’s walking using the walker or furniture) but he immediately drops to crawl. He also is not clapping yet. Pediatrician wasn’t worried about clapping or walking.
Feeling a little discouraged as his friends are younger and have some words or had words by his age if they’re older.
When did everyone’s babies say their first word?
