my son ... owen can only say dada and a few select babbles and im worried his speech seems to be slowly developing but how can i try and make him start talking more??

Boys tend to develop their speech a lot slower than girls but do eventually catch up. Try not to worry about it as he will talk when he's ready.

hey hun, how old is he?

welllike rhi said boys do tend to be alot slower and the all develope at there own rate, bailey is very clever but his speech is not so good he can say quite a few words and is starting to talk in sentensies but dosnt pronounce properly

How old is he, try not to worry all kids develop at different rates all three of mine have. x

Hi,

My DS3 is 20 month and only say's mama dada baba and no.

I must admit I took him to the docs about it, he said that not to worry until he is 2 1/2 and if he is still not saying anything then he would refer him to a speach therapist.

Your little one has plenty of time.
