Is my daughter's speech delayed?

2019-04-09 04:58:47
My daughter is turning 2 this week and is not speaking proper words. She blabbers a lot and is very active otherwise. For eg. she approaches us if she is thirsty and we are near water, she spreads her arms and makes sounds if she wants to be picked up. She enacts he rhymes too to some extent and responds when we call her. Just that she is not speaking any proper words in any language. She is a preemie and was born in 35th week. Is her speech delayed and should we be concerned and look for some therapy or is it okay and she is on her way to pick up language?

Not speaking any word by age 2 years needs further evaluation.  even if she can hear you still need a hearing test and then proper speech evaluation and developmental evaluation has to be done.  so either you can go to your general pediatrician or you can go to developmental pediatrician . Considering that her other milestones are normal and her receptive language is ok but expressive language is a concern, you may feel like waiting. let the doctors decide if she needs further the therapy or you can wait after initial evaluation , which is a must. early diagnosis is the key so please consult the doctors.
