Speech of 8 months old

2024-06-01 07:09:34
My son turned 8 months old recently and still he didn't start waving or speaking mamma papaa or anything. Whenever we speak he do listen keenly but he doesn't utter anything. However he smiles and makes other sounds frequently. Is this normal? Will he have a delayed speech? Is there anything to worry about. Pls suggest
