Multilingual households STM+ question

Anyone raising their child in a multilingual household? My husband is Turkish and I am American. He speaks to her in Turkish and I speak to her in English. She says few words. She understand pretty much everything we say. But in reality no words. She used to say baba and mama all the time but stopped that. She even would say baby but doesn?t really say it anymore. Just curious what others experiences were? Everything I have read says that a delay in speaking is normal, my pedi told me it was normal and to expect much until 18 months. But I read ONE LOUSY article and it said a delay isn?t necessarily normal in a multilingual household. So of course the one article has erased all logic in my brain. Any thoughts?
