I don't think it's likely to be related to lack of teeth. Bella didn't have any teeth until 14 months, yet she is vocally quite advanced and always has been.

:hug: :hug: I hope it's something simple for Antonia and you can get it sorted out quite quickly.

Megan was deffinatly babbliing before 11 months and laughing, shreeking etc

Kieren is 8 months old and does mama, dada, nana, baba etc and growls, gurgles, shouts, screaches, laughs, chuckles etc...

I think your right to get it all checked out, im sure its nothing really to worry about hun, even if she was refered to a speach therapist, then they can do wonderful things and sometimes children just need a little encouragement...I work (ed) with quite a few children who needed speach therapy...its pretty comon and quite often easily sorted over time :)

For the children who didnt have muchh speah we encouraged macaton signs as a form of comunication and we even use it with the children who's speach is at least average...its just useful for them to have a different form of comunication :)

Try not to worry, easier said than done i know :hug: hoep your HV is reassuring for you and you get it sorted soon!! :hug:

Do you have a surestart centre near you? Coz they have direct links to speech therapy, and it'll be a lot quicker going thru it that way. Ive gotta see someone today about Jaden.
Oh, and Charlie has just started babbling today :giggle:

Yay to bas! :wine: :wine:

Archie doesn't have any teeth either and he says mumu dada and rara (Cameron we think) so I wouldn't think it's related to teeth at all :hug:

Oh yeah, I forgot to say, the reason I was wondering that is that I'd heard that speech development is very related to development of jaw and chewing solid foods, so hence made the connection to teeth... but having said that, Antonia does a pretty good job of chewing with her gums anyway.

Am still going to talk to paed about it next week, but was v relieved to hear a bit of progress today :)
