What do you mean by there's nothing to talk about? WTF could a baby talk about with his parents?

I WOULDN'T SUBSCRIBE TO CUTTING YOUR CHILD TONGUE OR WHATEVER, PLEASE BE PATIENT.
IT TOOK MY FIRST CHILD 4 GOOD YEARS TO TALK, WE'RE SCARED, TERRIFIED AND WELL DISTURB.
THE DUDE IS NINE NOW, HE TALK LIKE THE FIRST YEARS TALKS WERE HIDING SOMEWHERE.
ONE GOOD THING ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY'RE INTELLIGENT AND POSSESS GOOD LEADERSHIP QUALITY, IN MOST CASES THEY'RE THE FIRST CHILD

Nobody advised her to cut his tongue. There is a medical condition called 'tongue tie', it is growth of soft tissue under the tongue and if a baby has it, it must be cut , else, the baby won't talk . my younger sis son had it. The nurses did not even notice it. It was when my younger sis who is a medical doctor went to circumcise the son that he saw the tongue tie. He ended up cutting the tongue tie and doing circumsition.

I will advise the op to go to hospital and just check .If the baby does not have it, just put your mind at rest cos he will talk at the right time.

Also,the more teeth a baby grows,the faster the baby will talk.

Kenya’s opposition leader Raila Odinga on Monday claimed that at least 500,000 young girls and women may be infertile, following a tetanus vaccine administered by the government in 2014 and 2015.

While addressing the media in Nairobi, Odinga said girls and women aged between 14 and 49 from the fastest growing populations in the country will not have children, because of a state-sponsored sterilization exercise that was sold to the country as a tetanus vaccination.

Just use google. Many more examples.

"The aim of the vaccination campaign is to prevent neonatal tetanus in newborns who are the most vulnerable and bear the highest burden of tetanus disease. These children live in the parts of the country with limited access to health facilities — most births occur at home in unhygienic conditions. Some of the babies are born to girls as young as 15 years old from communities living in marginalized areas. Children born at home under unhygienic conditions are at risk of tetanus infection through the cut umbilical cord. Their mothers are also at risk of infection with tetanus infection during childbirth."

"When the vaccines were tested in laboratories which used properly validated test systems, the results clearly showed that the vaccines did not contain hCG. The low levels of hCG-like activity seen in some samples were the result of false positive reactions. In fact, in a laboratory in Hungary, it was shown that the sterile water supply from the local hospital gave a higher false positive level of hCG than did the TT vaccine."

Hello Guys,

Kindly assist. I have an 18months old child (1year 6months) but he is yet to talk.

He only makes sounds and gesticulates. He also hum when baby sings are being played or atleast tries to blab along but that’s all.

He has not said any real thing like daddy or mummy or anything at all.

I have met children who are not up to 1yr or even 1yr and some months already talking. This is getting me worried. Should I be worried

Parents pls I need your opinion on what I should do.

Mods kindly assist for broader suggestions. Beginning to get desperate.

You don't have any problem. My friend's baby started talking at age 2 years 11 months. We were worried like you, but the same week he began kindergarten, he started talking. He called everyone 'aunty' for the rest of that month, including his mum

take him for deliverance, nothing happene for nothing

kmcutez:

But I still agree with you that there may be something sinister going on, I just prefer for there to be actual evidence rather than just scaring people.

We dont have adequate health facilities to deal with resurgence of crazy diseases because people listen to rumours and start panicking. if people stop vaccinating it will be a disaster

Your worries are understandable. But your child is OK. My friend's child is 2years just talking now. We were all worried initially like you are though. What you needs is patience, engage and communicate to him always. Play children video for him.

His condition will improve with time but pls take that child to see a pediatrician at a general or teaching hospital. It's not normal for him not to be talking at that age... Atleast mama or daddy.. The earlier the better

Take him to hospital to check for tongue tie asap.

The baby still dey reason naija matter.

My sis too thought her son of 2yrs and some month too had issue with talking but really nothing was wrong with him, he is just a slow talker. But from 3 years he started calling names etc. Even now at 10years he is a perfect gentleman with how he compose his words, he just never in a hurry.

You baby is fine. Enrol him in Creche.

Take the Child for a Cognitive Function Test.

Hard as this statement might sound, your child may be mentally retarded. Possibly Down's syndrome

You must joking, shioor

Some children generally do not talk early, our second born talked before our first born. They are exactly 1 year apart. My mom said she actually thought my brother was mute but at age 2 plus, he began to talk while my sister talked before 1 year

I really don’t think there’s anything to be worried about. Some boys are late starters but by the time he picks, you’ll be the one telling him to shut up or slow down.

If you are worried though, then I’d recommend you see a pediatrician so they can conduct tests on him.

Speech therapy and playdate. Ignore doctors who tell you not to worry.

You wicked..

18months is still small nah. Give him some more time he will talk. Also try mix him up with some grown up kids too it will help.this why i like getto boys they start talking from 11 months because they mix up alot.

Bonatheripper:

I laughed at loud at this comment

Madam don't be worried.

My kids don't talk early.

Two years we still dey use sign language. Hehehe. But brilliant, they start writing 1, 2, 3 at age 2 and count and asign numbers to ojects. I have a stupid friend who tried to make me feel bad but that I never bordered.

My kids start talking well at 3. Academically sound and will name almost all the animals, write 1 to 20 without asistance and count from 1 to almost 100. Whereas her own who talk from the womb can't do half of what my kids do. Omo, let your son be.

Let him grow at his pace, don't compare kids.

Do not worry yourself much about this. Has he started going to school ? If no plz make sure you enroll him asap. He needs to mingle with kids like him and also you him speech therapy to help him more. This happened to my twin brother's son. He started saying words after 2year old.

/
Put a hidden cam in his room. He may be talking.


Perhaps he is only keeping malice for birthing him in Nigeria. I don't blame him.

Have you considered mother-child counseling to resolve your differences?

Parents go just dey worry themselves for nothing. It tooked me 5 years before I started talking, today I am like a parrot. No worry yourself jo, the baby go talk tire sotey you go dey beat am sey he too talk

Oooops:


Thank you. Needed to be sure I was not doing anything wrong

When he gets to two years, get him to see a doctor to rule out Autism spectrum disorder and or speech disorder. These can be managed with therapy

why do you have to conclude so fast on that poor child? He is gonna be all right and i doubt down syndrome.

Be patient bro! There's nothing wrong with your precious child.. My first daughter gesticulated and hummed for 2.5 years.. She's 7 now and is the brightest most eloquent 7yr old I've met.. She was diagnosed with ADHD but we managed it and coupled with a good school.. Yours will be fine..

I started talking at age 3

My mom was scared asf.......

Till date, i prefer chatting than talking...... there's nothing really to talk about sef.

Sometimes the vaccines given to them affects their brains/bodies.

Yes my friend.
Let's hope you are wrong though.
The Measles mumps rubella vaccine normally given at 12 months has been implicated by some researchers to trigger autism spectrum disorder.

In Europe it's given even earlier.

I pray with the OP that the little one begins normal speech soon
In the meantime, other steps can be taken to stimulate his brain to make him talk. Enrollment in a crèche with other children is a great decision .

Woman you have nothing to worry about. It took our last born 2 years, but forget it, she is in JSS1 now, she always come back home with written letter from her class teacher.....
She talks more than any other person in there class, she is so stubborn and it's even affecting her academically. I personally thought my sister will grow up been a stutter

Try this simple trick: go on a travel. If you find the chance on a holiday, travel to another place and stay for at least 2 weeks. The change in environment stimulates children's mental growth. My 2 kids each started to talk when my wife went on holidays to her parents' place from Anambra to Ogun State. We noticed that with our 1st child, and then confirmed it with our 2nd, on separate occasions.
