Speech. What is normal?

[Mum2twoBoys]

Ok I went to pick up my ds today from cc and met with one of his carers. She bought up his speech, wondering if he spoke at home. Which I thought was funny cos he's a chatterbox at home. And can say a lot of words. To which she said he just baby mumbled there.

I don't know if its coz he's not comfortable there, or the fact that today was his first day back since Christmas break up. I then went to say how he says a few words, and can count to 3 (un, ooh, eee). And she the went on to say about his pronunciation. I thought it was still normal at this age to talk like a baby?

I had brought up that I was a little worried about his speech in December at mchn appt. To which she recommended another appt in 3 months and she would do a brigance test on him. But she didn't seem worried.

And I wasn't, I thought in the last few months his speech had developed. He now attempts to say some words after only hearing them once. And I know he definitely comprehends more than he can say. I'm now worrying that I haven't pushed language enough with him, especially not with repetition. Because I didn't want to push things on to him at such a young age, and thought at the moment he learns through play.

But now I'm unsure on my parenting skills. I guess I just want to hear if this is normal, or whether I should see someone?
