Not yet talking
My son is very active child. He started with few words at 11 months age. He stopped using them later. Now he is 2.6 years old with zero words. I am very much worried. I and my husband are working. He do not have anyone else at home. We consulted pediatrician when he was 20 months old. He suggested to talk more to him. It is too early to say if he is having speech delay or something else. Please help
