Question
Why can’t a one-year-old baby speak yet?
Answer
A one-year-old baby not speaking yet could be due to a short frenulum, which causes the tongue to form a W-shape and affects pronunciation. Concerned parents can take their baby to the otolaryngology department of the hospital for an examination to confirm the issue and receive professional advice. Typically, most babies with a short frenulum can still speak normally, with only a few sounds possibly being mispronounced.
