Brief Answer:
Its too early for bisyllables/ need vitamin D level
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX ..
1. It's too early at 9 months to speak bisyllables like what you have quoted. Bisyllables will come only at 12 months.
2. Sometimes teeth can start erupting as late as 16 months also. But I suggest you get back to me with serum Vitamin D levels of the kid.

Brief Answer:
I HAVE A FEW QUESTOINS FOR YOU
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX -
Taking Calshine doesn't preclude a vitamin D deficiency. Please answer my questions -
1. When did you or your spouse start speaking ( You need to get this information from your respective parents) ?
2. When did you or your spouse start getting teeth ( You need to get this information again from your respective parents) ?
3. Calshine Comes in different combinations - can you see the wrapper on the calshine and get back to me with t he composition of the preparation?
Even if your baby is on vitamin and calcium supplements I suggest you get a serum Vitamin D levels done and upload me the report please.
