My daughter is 25 months old and the words that I know she can speak she no longer says. Her speech is no longer developing either.
We hear alot of “ugh”……….
and she becomes very upset when I have trouble understanding.
I was wondering if this is common at her age. most posting are of kids around 15 months.

Lori - Losing most of your words is not a part of normal language development, particularly not at 25 months when she should be going through her language explosion and speaking in short phrases all day long. I would definitely speak to your pediatrician about this AND have her communication skills evaluated by a pediatric speech-language pathologist. The best way to do this is by calling your state’s early intervention program. You can find this by searching your state’s name plus the phrase “early intervention.” Having someone help her and you will eliminimate lots of frustration for the both of you! Laura
