How should I deal with not being able to pronounce after 11 and a half months?

Patient's question:

There are half a month left until my birthday, and I still can't pronounce "daddy" or "mummy." I only occasionally hear the pronunciation "nana." Grandparents usually take care of me during the week, and my parents come home to see me on weekends. At 10 months, my check-up showed that my motor skills and intelligence are at the level of a 10-month-old, but my social cognition is at the level of a 7-month-old.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, not everyone has the same level of development. Your child is mainly taken care of by his grandparents, and the child's language is more like that of his grandparents. Mother Gu said that parents might be a bit behind. Grandparents might speak first relatively.
Hello, a child's growth is directly related to the people who accompany him. Language, sports, and other aspects are all connected. There are also inconsistencies in language, which can make pronunciation difficult for parents, such as grandparents who speak dialect and parents who speak Mandarin. Your child can already produce unclear sounds of "grandma," and parents need to communicate more. Friendship is very important.
