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.

hi, my daughter is also a late bloomer. She only started walking at 18 months. She babbles & doctor recommend to go for speech therapy. But we did not. We can only hear her saying clear words, baby words, now 2yr 4mths. Not that I'm not worried. I am. But we let her grow on her own pace. We don't talk short words but instead full sentences. She understands & tries to follow. She even likes to sing nursery songs now.
