At a particular stage, your toddler starts babbling and pointing at objects as if they are identifying them. Parents noted that if you notice that this isn’t happening when your child is over 14 months old, then you should consider talking to a pediatrician about speech delay. Babbling, showing gestures and pointing at objects can be a sign that your little one is matching words and objects together, making preparations to start speaking.
