20 month old still barely talking
So my daughter just turned 20 months. She understands all that we’re saying and follows commands no problem. She points to what she wants and otherwise is meeting all physical milestones. She “talks” up a storm and makes conversation with lots of sounds and inflection in her voice. However, she only says a handful of actual words (dada, cheese, nightnight, de for dog, and eyes). She will also sign for more and all done. Otherwise she just whines when she wants something and gets extremely frustrated and cries about it. We do try to not give in to her when she whines and try to encourage her to use her words but it’s a dead end. At her 18 month doctors appt her pediatrician said she was borderline for speech and would re evaluate when she turned 2. Does anyone have experience with a toddler like this? Should I push for a speech eval sooner than 2? TIA!
