    Worried mom of 10 month old
    Is it normal for a 10 month old to not say mama or dada or not clap hands,waveor walk?

    Every baby develops at different paces. I have a 2 1/2 year old that BARELY talks when other kids his age are talking fully. Someone suggested a speech therapist for him, but he'll come around when he's ready. Just work with your baby and spend lots of time with him/her and he'll come around! :)

    Mmm just to make sure, ask your maternal and child health nurse for a hearing test-poor hearing is a common issue with poor or slower than usual speech development.

    There is a pressure test for babies that can check if they hear properly-its a machine and it does not hurt.

    This is only a precautionary measure-I think your child is within the normanl range of development.
