What ages do children?

Start to talk?
Crawl?
Walk?
Stopping needing a nappy?

I'm curious because my neighbours son is nearly 3 and although he walks, he's still in a pram most the time I see him, he seems to only make sounds and is often seen in his nappy.
I don't have kids and I'm an only child.

I'm concerned about him as he often cries early on the morning and sounds incredibly distressed so much so they play prayer chanting loudly to drone him out.

First words are often uttered as young as 12 months, or as late as 18 months. Babies start to crawl at about 7 months. The very latest a child will learn to walk will be at about 18 months.

Potty use is between 18 months and three years.

My parents friends had a third child who was developmentally delayed. His mother never dressed him, and he was much slower in development than the family's other children.

@4meAndyou it's a shame as this is their first.

I know they said lockdown dogs were struggling socially but if this is a consequence of the pandemic I feel very sorry for him and others

@Mellowgirl It has nothing to do with the pandemic. It has everything to do with whether or not the child has all of his faculties.

@4meAndyou Well that I couldn't tell you. I don't think he goes to nursery, she does speak another language so maybe that's a factor.
But he seems to make sounds tbh, even when he was at my door
