You should worry if a 1-year-old child...
- Produces only a few sounds (little vocalizations or babbling)
- Does not respond to his name
- Does not recognize familiar objects when named (e.g. blanket, bottle)
- Does not point
At what age should your child make noises, say words, point things? When should you worry?
Between 6 and 12 months
