21 months baby speech delay
Hello my daughter is 21 months old. She says words like amma (mother) appa (father) akka (sister) anna (brother) amama(grand mother) sometimes attha (aunt), cake, sometimes banana, hello, hi with hand wave. If we say anything she understands and if we instruct her to do something she will do. Most of the times she communicates like aa aa aa and does actions to show what she needs. Screen time is 3 hours per day. Please tell me if there is something to worry about her speech development. also she does not repeat after us. She only says selective words like above
