Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 My son Ian was the same way. He didn't start talking until 21 months except 1 word sentences and then just wham - one day 3-4 word sentences. He has been vegan all his life but his physical development is fine except he is smaller for his age. Not by much but that is common among veg/vegan children. They average out later.
