11 months old stopped babbling as much and just shouts instead
I do feel like I’m over worrying but I’m struggling to find things online about this. My son has been making babbling sounds for a couple months now, bababa mamamama gogogogo but for the past few weeks that’s seemed to phase away into lots of shouts, screeches and some soft repeated ohs. It almost feels like a step backwards in his verbal development?
He’s very close to walking (constantly using his walker and cruising, climbing everything and anything) and has started to play more intentionally with putting things in and out of boxes/baskets, wrapping himself up in silks and blankets. A big part of his play is handing things to us, but he plays independently too. So I’m really happy with his physical development.
We do read to him, definitely has taken a bit more of a back burner recently as he tends to just keep closing them and eventually crawling off, but he has been loving lift the flap books recently so I’m going to get more of those and try to read more again.
Is this something I should be contacting my health visitor about? Is it our fault for slowing down on reading? I’d really love to hear if anybody else’s little ones have done anything like this, and even just advice on how to get back to babbling would really be appreciated. Thanks!
