It's completely understandable that you're concerned about your daughter's speech delay, but please don't blame yourself for giving her screen time before she turned one. Many parents do the same thing, and it's not necessarily the cause of speech delay. What's important now is to focus on helping your daughter improve her communication skills. One thing you can do is to encourage her to communicate using words, even if it's just simple ones at first. When she uses gestures to communicate, try to respond by saying the word out loud for her. This will help her make the connection between the gesture and the word. You can also try reading books with her and pointing out objects while saying their names. This will help expand her vocabulary. It's also important to limit her screen time as much as possible. Talk to her grandparents and explain the situation. Let them know that you're trying to reduce her screen time and ask for their support in doing so. Encourage them to engage her in other activities that promote communication and interaction. Consider reaching out to a speech therapist or a child development specialist. They can provide professional guidance and support tailored to your daughter's specific needs. Early intervention can make a big difference in overcoming speech delays. Lastly, be patient and understanding. Every child develops at their own pace, and with your love and support, your daughter will progress in her own time. Keep encouraging her to communicate, and celebrate every small improvement along the way. You're doing a great job as a parent, and I'm sure your daughter will thrive with your love and care. https://invl.io/cll6she

Me and my sister are 100% screen time babies and nope, we are not speech delayed and on the contrary, I’m quite a talker. Have you taken her to a therapist for early intervention? My friend did and her son started talking after watching Ms Rachel on YouTube. My nephew was also a quiet one when he’s around that age but now he talks and talks and talks non stop. Hope things turn out good for you and your girl

do see a doctor for referral. and buy toys that encourage her to speak and interact. for example, flash card.. cooking or pretend play toys. Read books every day. even if her attention is 5 mins. get her to fill in the blank. for example, "This is a...." Then wait for her response. screen time limit, maybe 15 mins of Ms. Rachel, the toddler series ones.
