First of all he needs sensory stimulation, in the gorm of playing in same age groups where they observe others talking and learn. In today's nuclear families it is scarce. Always talk to him tell stories and ban TV and mobile. If doesn't by 3 months consult speech therapist.
Next Steps
prior have a consultation with paediatric doctor to rule out tongue tie.
