    I wouldn't worry at all. Remember boys tend to learn language skills slower than girls do, he'll catch up in the end

    I think it's quite common for toddlers to mispronounce certain letters for a while, I reckon he's just fine.

    at the boobie though!!

    nup, they come eventually, as frustrating as it is.
    M's only just arrived in our house for DS, but DD struggled with L for agggges (like we had munch every day between breakfast and dinner)...she has no troubles now.

    His speech is way better than my boy's, and he turns two in about two weeks!

    Perhaps I should actually start to worry a bit more!

    DS still has issues with certain consonants - I guess it's normal (he speaks very well otherwise).
    HE also insisted on calling me nya-nya (milk) for a long time, even though he could say mummy.

    Well I didn't have to wait very long He has mastered the letter M and is now calling me mummy. He started late last week and has improved over the weekend. He still gets a bit confused and calls me Boobie but not often now.

    Thanks everyone!
