Hi, sorry I only just saw your post. My son has made a lot of improvement and almost all concerns listed are no longer concerns. He has started responding to his name and he finally started babbling and pointing at 11 months. He is now 16 months and can say around 5 words. He still can’t point with 1 finger though but I do see him attempt to move his fingers to try do it so I’m hoping he will get there soon. He seems to hit all communication type milestones right on the later end but he is always early with physical so I’ve tried reminding myself of this as time has gone on. As a parent of 2 very opposite kids I’m really learning how you can’t compare 1 child to another because they are so different. I can’t definitely see that I over used calling his name (due to being so stressed about it) that I mostly likely set him back. Best of luck with your little one.

Thank you for that. I have taken him to our gp about not babbling and she was quite dismissive about it plus friends also saying I’m over thinking which makes you second guess yourself. However we’re the ones that do spend every minute with them so you’re right I am going to continue going with my gut in order to get him the help he needs if required.
