Hi,
So I thought I'd just ask around if anyone else had experience with speech delays.

I took my 15 month old to the pediatrician this morning for his regular check up and vaccinations and she expressed mild concern about a language delay. So he's booked in for an extra appointment before the next normal one to see how he's going. So nothing really a problem yet but enough of a 'there might be a problem here' to increase my own concerns which I'd previously been trying to downplay with a 'he's just different to his brother and he'll catch up soon' mentality.

So he's 15 months and he doesn't yet say any words. Sometimes he seems to have a 'this' to accompany points.
He used to make roaring and car sounds when he was around 12-13 months old, but he's stopped.
He doesn't wave, but he does point at things he wants.
He doesn't really respond to his name, but he does seem to understand some of what we say such as 'water' and 'mandarin'. He won't look at named family members though, for instance 'where's mama?' or papa or brother.

Hmm in any case I think it was good for me to make this list, then I can look back at it later and see how he's progressed.
