How many words should a 15 month only child be saying?

Answer 1

It's normal not to talk up until 18 months according to my doc. In fact, my son didn't say his first word until 18 months. Now at 20 months he has a large vocabulary and learns new words every day! As long as he responds to you, and can preform a simple command there's no need to worry. He's just taking his time. Have faith, those words will come. :~)

Answer 2

1 or 2

Answer 3

Around 10 or so. The 15-18 month range should have between 10-20 words.

Answer 4

It can vary greatly. My grandaughter is 18 months old. At 15 months we started writing down the words she was saying- there were 50 of them. Now at 18 months, she's putting sentences together. My oldest daughter (her mother) was the same way. But some of my children didn't say anymore that "mama" and "dada" until age 2. The ones who started talking later made up for lost time, and started talking a whole lot all at once. I wouldn't worry too much about vocabulayr until after the 2 year mark.

Answer 5

its such a wide range of what is normal at this age. My son said probably 2-3 words at 15 months and was perfectly normal. My daughter could and would repeat almost anything at 15 months and talked in sentences at 19 months. They were both in the "normal" range. If a child does not say 50 words at age 2 then they will question it.

Answer 6

A 15 month old could say a few words.

Answer 7

Its different with every child. My oldest daughter was saying about 8-10 words by that age, but my youngest daughter (14 months old) only says mama and dada. All kids have their own way of doing things and they will do them when they are ready. There's no hurry.

Answer 8

Some kids that age carry on conversation as if they were years older, and some don't say a whole lot of anything until they are closer to 3 years old. They all usually get on the same level with each other soon enough after that, so it's not anything to worry over at this point.

Answer 9

By 15 months, the majority (about 75 percent) of children have a vocabulary that consists of "Mama" and "Dada" plus at least three other words, usually nouns, such as "cookie," "ball," and "dog." "More," and of course the all-time toddler favorite, "No!" are also common early words. A typical 15-month-old can also follow simple commands, such as "Bring me your shoes," or "Put the book down." She also understands the meanings of phrases such as "No," "Come here," "Show me," and "Look."

Of course, all children are different. My 15-month-old daughter has a vocabulary of well-over 100 words and speaks in phrases.

Answer 10

If your childs vocabulary doesn't expand by the time they are 24-26 months I would consult with your doctor.
All children develop differently in this area however two seems to be the age to determine if they might require some speech therapy.
