16+ mth old (yet to say simple word)

My son is 17m and 2 weeks . He doesn't call ' ma ma ' or 'ba ba '. He make a lot of baby sound and screaming most of the time... His last hearing test at 6 month old is normal . Is this normal ? For child has speech delayed , when is the latest age need to start intervention?

It is normal. Dev check up for my son at 18mths, the PD also said the same thing. It is their SOP timeline for kids to do achieve a certain milestone at different stage. My boy only started talking a little at 21mths Jia you!!

dont worry, my son dont even start when he is 2years old, but you will feel shock when he start talking, my son now is 2 years 7mth, and he know how to quarrel already

I think its pretty normal. My boy start talking at ard 2 yrs old too.
