My baby is now one-year-old, yet can’t say anything. He only obeys instructions and smiles at you when you talk to him. I understand that a baby should start saying a few words by his/her 1st birthday.. Please help me.

While it is true that a baby should be able to say a few words by age one, it is not unusual for some babies to have delayed speech. Usually, talking is not considered delayed until the baby is about two years old. In most cases, delayed talking is nothing to worry about. Late talking can be caused by a number of factors, including heredity. Often, it runs in the family and can be inherited from either side of the family. Therefore, if either parent started talking late as a baby, then it is expected their child could experience delayed talking.
