a question about multilingual babies

[parisa Daftarifard]

Hi

Does he start babbling or one word in any language? Please stop him exposing
to many languages as I experienced you may cause language delay for even
four years or more. Let him learn one language and then another one. This
may cause your kid language delay.

Best,
Parisa
