4. Late-Onset Speech

Child experts say that the timing of speech milestones can vary greatly. One child may begin babbling at four months, while others don’t utter these sounds until they’re 10 months old. A 2015 assessment notes that more than 50% of babies speak their first words by the age of 10 months. The same article indicates that 25% of 12-month-old babies have not started talking.
