Anyone know when pronunciation matters?

I'm pretty sure this is not a concern this young. I have nothing to compare it to because H is not saying much besides animal sounds and mama and dada. I wouldn't worry if I were you, she sounds like she is doing really well with words! The pronunciation stuff will get there over time

Thanks! I guess I'm just worried because her lip and tounge ties were bad enough to effect breast feeding so Im just nervous it will effect her speech as well. FTM problems!

Ah ok, I didn't know she had those issues early on. Did they end up doing anything about it?

I think it's normal for this age to do that. I think that the goal is for them to actually associate what they are saying with a word. For example DS will say "dees" which means please. Or he will say "dank you" for thank you. Some sounds are easier for them to say at this age so that is why she might be putting certain letters in place of others.

I would still mention it to her pedi but I think the fact that she is talking and can make word associations is a good sign.
