How soon should a baby start talking?
My son is 2 years and 9 months old, and he still hasn’t started talking. He does repeat the alphabets and numbers (1-10) along with us, says hi when he sees us, but thats about it. No real communication. He is almost 3 years old and it is kinda getting us worried. Is this ok? And he is a premature baby, born in the 8th month itself. Does that have anything to do with this?

He sounds fine. My nephew was the same way. He just wouldn’t speak until he was a little over 3 years old. Now, he won’t stop talking…lol.
There are many forms of communication. As long as he is able to let you know in some fashion what he wants/needs and is making eye contact and being social then there is nothing to worry about. Enjoy the peace for now cause like I said once they start talking, you’ll miss these days.
