Red Flag #1
Let’s get started on the Red Flags section in my blog. If you remember, a red flag is a signal that something may be wrong and it’s a cue or signal for you to go seek professional help. In this case, the professional help you would seek would be a speech pathologist.
Red Flag #1: If your baby is not using a variety of speech sounds in babbling by one year of age it’s time to seek help.
What exactly do I mean by this? Your baby should be babbling a variety of sounds (b, p, t, d, m, w) in various combinations (ba-ba or ba-ma or ba-ma-ba-ma). Your baby may be using more sounds than the ones I just listed. I just wanted to give you an idea of some of the sounds you may be hearing in their babbling.
If your baby is not babbling or has an extremely limited babbling repertoire by one year of age, it’s time to go seek professional help.
