I think it's probably fine to wait until the 18 month checkup to ask the pediatrician about it. But I would consider other "symptoms" of autism as well - how much he likes interacting and playing with other people, eye contact, affection, etc. I would say if you notice deficits in those areas as well, it can't hurt to call your pediatrician early. But I also want to say that I agree with the other commenters - all kids are different, and some just start speaking more slowly than others.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09996639181080995151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-19179049953312389652013-09-20T20:05:58.798-06:002013-09-20T20:05:58.798-06:00This reminds me that I should go shopping on my bi...This reminds me that I should go shopping on my birthday in 16 days. Also, that I have a couple of coupons for the one plus sized store I frequent the most (the one that starts with a P).<br /><br />Mmmmmmm marinara sauce.

My nephew (who lives two states away, so I haven't seen him in over a year) is the same age as my kids (well, he's 3.5) and they finally got him speech therapy because he was barely talking. So I think you have time, but it doesn't hurt to be proactive.<br /><br />I don't know about eczema, but I know when my kids were teething, they drooled a lot and it caused some rashiness around their mouths.<br /><br />Yum for the tomato sauce ... I just canned a bunch of tomato sauce myself. I might do another canning day, but it's getting to be the end of the season even here, and I don't know how much time I'm going to have coming up.<br /><br />Congrats on all the weight loss!sunflowerchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209334933886664383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-29992702800728329442013-09-20T17:47:24.904-06:002013-09-20T17:47:24.904-06:00My E. had no words at all until he was 15 months, ...My E. had no words at all until he was 15 months, and then he had 'Daddy' and that was it. Gradually, gradually the words started to come, and by 24 months it was a torrent. I also was slow to get going.<br /><br />What kept me from worrying (too much) was that E. was using some signs, and his receptive vocabulary was excellent. That let me believe he was just soaking it all up and would speak when he was ready.<br /><br />I have also heard (although I have no experience with this) that second children are later to speak because the older one speaks for them, or they don't have to say anything (i.e. older child says she is hungry, both children get a snack).<br /><br />I think you are probably ok to wait until the 18 month checkup, but if you are really worried, your paediatrician is there to be reassuring and will not think you are silly for bringing him in a bit earlier.<br />T.Turiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11694077473805539161noreply@blogger.com
