My son is 22 Month old and say up to 20 words.the problem is that he is not using them unless his is being asked to say them. also, he can say a word for few times and then just stop. he can say "ima" but when he needs me he just "cry' for me. he is not asking for food at all not even for bottle.he is communicating fine in other ways and find ways to let us know what he want, he is immitating sounds and will do all animals sound that we teach him. do you think there is speech delay.or is it normal at that age. I also would like to say that my son is expose to both Hebrew and English but we make sure it's one languge for person. also he is still at home so he is around kids only ones a week or at the playground. you can reply in hebrew or english. thanks!

it seems to be that your child is OK, he probably is mixed up about which language to use when? good that you keep one language per adult. you need to encourage him to use his word rather than sounds. did he have a hearing test? does he follow you with his eyes and attention? does he look "engaged" in his surroundings? maybe you need to have some personized counseling so that you can help him/ look into "Hanen" for parents. they have a great parent education group for langauge delayed kids.
