Hun, I wouldn't stress too much, but by all means go with your gut feeling & don't worry about your family. My DS has been late with all his milestones, including talking. He is 22 months old and he only says mama, gaga, dede, makes some other sounds which includes a sound for wind, and a sound for a lion but as soon as he does it he gets upset because he doesn't like the sound of it. Weird! He used to do the broom broom car noise all the time when he was younger but then he stopped. He does make a few more sounds (words that mean something to him but not to us), but I am still taking him to a developmental paed as he does do arm flapping which has concerned me for a long time. He used to flap a lot more before he started walking at 19 months, but he still does it when he gets really excited. If you are concerned Hun, seek some opinions, even if your family is against it. There is nothing like a gut feeling and early intervention if need be. GL hunni xox
