worried about his development. can anyone help?
in Baby
Hi ladies!
I know this is probably the wrong place to post this but i thought ide get more help in here than in toddler.
Harri is 21 months and happy and healthy (i think lol) but im worried that he isnt as "forward" as other boys his age.
He obviously can walk and has donr for nearly a year, but can only say a few words
mum
daddy
pop
grandad
nan
fish
car
trees
whats that
no
he hasnt really got the hang of feeding himself yet and cant dress himself yet.
He does however know were all his body parts are lol he knows exactly what you are saying though so hes not stupid by a long stretch.
im just worried others are more forward?
can anyone help me compare?

He sounds the same as Charlotte and she's turned 20 months today.
And she's only been walking independently for 2 weeks!!
I'm not worried one bit so you shouldn't be either
He sounds tottaly normal to me hun, boys do tend to speak later than girls, and if his understanding is good (Millie's was excellent which is why we never worried) then I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.

His eating isn't great but he can feed himself either finger food or off a spoon but usually it gets at least a bit messy.
Does that help?? It sounds like Harri is doing ok to me though tbh
xx
"Muuuumy!!!" & "No" oh and "aaaaah"
in the last 8 months he just come out with everything & now i cant shut him up!!!
I wouldnt worry hunnie xxxx
harri is obviously average which is perfect!
ill just wait for him to blossom at his own little pace lol xxx
My goddaughter is 6 months younger than cole and she's way better at eating even now than cole is but at 14 months she's only just started pulling herself up and walking on the walker whereas cole was doing that at 9 or so months, yet she's doing better than her big brother who didn't start to crawl till 18 months then walked not long after. Seeing how differently those two are developing when they are so close in age (even if 6 months is a huge gap when they are little - if that makes sense) really makes me see how they all develop differently.
Don't forget about us on the dec 07 forum - that'll get you a good comparison too
