    My daughter makes mouth movements, but doesn't try to make sounds. She's 6 months and really only makes noise when she's tired or hungry. Even when I play, the big smiles she gives are almost entirely silent, I can count on one hand the number of times I've gotten her to laugh. I know my sons were both making far more noise, and a wider variety of noises by this age, and the younger one didn't really talk until he was 3 (after which he wouldn't shut up😅). He was within the normal range, but barely. She passed her newborn hearing test...

    My son is 4 1/2. He's been doing speech therapy since he was 2. He wasn't saying much of anything, just grunting like you mentioned. We taught him some sign language which also really helped in communicating. He did, however, understand a lot. One thing we were asked to get checked was his hearing. In his case it wasn't the problem, but it's always good to rule that out! He's doing so well now. His therapist just decided to take him down to one session a week instead of 2. Anyway, my encouragement to those of you who have a child with a speech delay is that the earlier you get it taken care of the better. I was afraid he'd never talk, now he asks constant questions and makes us laugh with his humor. I'm so thankful for Early Intervention and IU13 for their free services and coming to my home every week (I homeschool and have 3 other kids as well, so that's a huge blessing!).

However, she seemed to stop this entirely around 6-7 months and I was wondering if you have any insight on this. She stopped babbling around the same time she started sitting, crawling, and pulling herself up. Do you have experience with babies babbling normally and then completely stopping?

    My 26 month son understands many things we tell him, like turn off/on the light, get in your chair, close the door, put on your shoes, etc etc. He will make gestures like pointing to planes, handing me plates once he's done eating, wave hello and goodbye. He will say "choo choo" when the train comes. At the same time he only understands a few words like mama, dada, hi, banana and does not try to speak back at anything else. Every attempt to teach, he runs to some different toy to play with or look the other way. Really don't understand why and our pediatrician recommended a speech pathologist. Any tips are helpful and will try practicing repeating sounds.

      Don't worry about it! Totally normal. It could be that they are just developing other skills right now, like crawling or sitting amd that that is taking most of their brain power. My little one started at 6 months to 'babble' but a month later he is doing it very rarely but is really working on crawling. The main time he makes sounds now is when he is chewing on his teethers amd sometimes come out with Meme or baba. But never over and over again, just once and he is done.

      @@kaedynroberts3626 my baby is now 6 months, he has stopped saying 'kkkk/gggg' when seeing people and now sounds like he is saying 'Hi' when sees someone as he makes a H sound instead. It's progress, finally 😅

      My son started babbling, clapping and waving at almost 11 months so don’t worry. Babies are different
