Next - he still only talks in baby language do we wait to see if he will out grow this or consult a speech therapist
Brief Answer:
Get him some teethers - he needs speech therapy
Detailed Answer:
Hi...for teething discomfort you can get him some teethers. While biting then he may have some comfort by this.
A 2 year old child still speaking in baby language is not acceptable. I suggest two things right now. Please get a BERA test done to test his hearing capability. Secondly you definitely need to take him to a speech therapist after the BERA test is found to be normal.
