My #1 is 21 months now and has not started talking. Still uses baby language like mum-mum (eat), though she's able to call papa, name out some animals but many elders are telling me that she's should start to talk by this age. Any idea how do I get her to express herself the correct way? I tried letting her watch videos on YouTube but doesn't help.

Sounds like your child alrdy has started saying her first words. That's perfectly normal. Children are only expected to combine 2 words by aged 2 so don't worry about that. Avoid YouTube as it doesn't help their language development. Talk to her more and don't worry too much!
