Seeking advice and comfort

Our 17mo is not talking (eg. papa mama in a meaningful way) and pointing yet. Toddler is babbling, making eye contact and interacting with caregivers. Anyone who has experienced the same? How do you deal with the worries? I’m not in deep anxiety cause I have heard that some kids started talking at 3yo. But I would like to hear from you who has traveled the same path. Thank you in advance.

Almost 19 months here and also not talking! Dr has flagged her out and will need to follow up with development checks but im still quite chill about it as she can gesture and express herself without words. Dr did ask about genetics and it does run in our family, most of us speaking after two years of age so meh what to do. Now im so talkative people tell me to shut up. Anyways yea the delay in speech is usually tagged to other underlying issues like autism and all so im still 50/50 when to intervene and push for checks and speed the process up. We all pray that its nothing bigger to worry about but yea its still a possibility we cannot dismiss also. Mentally and financially prep for the worse as of now and enjoy all the time with our child meanwhile. Hugs!
