My boy is now 2.5 years old & yea, same worry as you're having too. He's not speaking much but I do see some improvement the last few weeks. I had to force him to speak up when he wanted something or else I won't do it for him.

Me & my wife have been discussing if we should throw him into nursery ASAP so that he gets to mingle around with other kids.

Also been thinking of speech therapy for quite some time now but I guess I'll consider it seriously when he hits 3 & still lotsa baby talk.

Fortunately, he can do all that you mentioned.

While I'm not exactly sure how much of what he said is considered as "build sentence", he can definitely relate an object with colour (blue car), he is capable of going through ABC-Z, 1-20'ish & he is able to comprehend my command. It's just that majority of stuffs coming out from his mouth are still baby-talk or a mixture of 70% baby talk, 30% comprehensible English.

I must also said that he is very stubborn or in better term, strong-willed. He will ignore me if he's doing something else & sometimes he's very moody (which is kinda like his mom) when interrupted. As such, a lot of time, me & my wife felt that he didn't have much eye contact with us which is 1 of the factors that got us worried. In fact, my worries of him being autistic is 1 of the few reasons why I kept rejecting my wife when she asked for a sibling for him.

My boy had this issue before too. Pediatrician encouraged us to give him solid before sleep as he might get a little hungry if he only had milk prior to his bed time. You can give that a try.

However, in my case, it's kind of a season thing. There are weeks where he slept soundly throughout the night, weeks where he would wake up too early (like 5am) & weeks where he would wake up in the middle of the night for milk. I've gotten a bit used to it so no more complaints... unless my wife got woken up by the ruckus.

Glenagles Penang? I'm from Penang & TBH, I'm not very fond of the child development psychologist that's stationed in Glenagles Penang. Pretty sure he's hearing is OK but I'll monitor.

Sigh... being a parent is no fun with so many things to worry about.

I kinda envious that you still have time with your wife. My wife sometimes sleep before my boy. She's easily tired after work & I've talked to her about it but alas, nothing has changed.

Wait, isn't this thread posted in /k/? Did mod move it over to P&P?
