  Q 1. My Child is 16 months of age and not talking. What do I do ???When will she start to talk ?? A1. The child starts to speak in monosyllables ba ba da da by 6-9 months. Between 11- 14 months the child can say mama papa yes no. By 18 months she can say around 20 words. By 2 years child can make two-word sentences like mama go. Daddy come and so on. More comprehensive three-word sentences like I want toy take place by 3 years of age. Best to wait and let the child interact with other children. One thing to observe is if the child responds actively to sound, music etc. In that case there should not be a problem.   Link -  http://www.drmubinaagboatwalla.com/child-specialist-karachi/
