What is the latest time a baby can start talking

Patient's question:

Up to now, I can only say two simple words, but I know everything in my heart.

Doctor's answer:

The key period for a baby's language development is before the age of 2. Starting from crying after birth, they begin to babble by observing their mother's mouth movements, expressions, and listening to the sounds of speech. Generally, at 4-5 months, they start mimicking words, and by 7-8 months, they can call "daddy" or "mommy." After 10 months, they begin to intentionally call these names. They also learn to use gestures to mean "goodbye" or "hello." Between 1 and 1.5 years old, they can say 2-3 word phrases and sentences, and by 1.5 to 2 years old, they can form 7-8 word sentences. Therefore, as long as you communicate more with your baby and encourage them to see, speak, and do, I believe your baby will grow up healthy and happy.
