Could mothers of c.14 -18 month olds please come and tell me the words they say already?

[Inevergivemychildrensweets]

Ds is 16mo

His words so far are:

'Bang'
'No'
'Mama'
''kyou' (thankyou)
'hela' (hello)

None of these is particularly clear.

is this a bit on the slow side or is he well within average?

Please if you could list the words your child knows I'd be grateful!

Thanks x

DD could say woof at 9 months when you asked her "what do doggies say?" but only because she started saying the sound so DH and I spent two weeks saying "what do doggies say DD?" unitl she said woof then we made such a big deal of congratulating her which guaranteed that she would keep on saying it.

Gotta love that classical conditioning!

bumper, you have lost two months somewhere

DD1 at 18mths said approx 300 words which were clear to strangers. These included some colours (she didn't know which was which though) objects, animals and transport etc.
Average is between 6-20 words, by 2 years 50ish + and able to put 2 words together like me go, want juice etc.

To reassure you from my perspective as a CM they are all different. My 18mth mindee had about the same amount of words as your LO. By 2yrs she could put 3 words together.
My other 19mth mindee said next to nothing until over 2, she then said 'when is mummy coming!'one day, it was that rapid like she had been taking it all in but needed the confidence to speak iyswim.

Good tips for bringing on speech is to repeat words that sound like something back or say what things are if he points at something. Also remember that generally the part of the brain that deals with thought and language develops faster in girls than in boys, so usually boys talk later.

300 words at 18 months?

300 mytetherisending?

did you mean 30?

my brother said around 250 words at 28 months. I had to count them. I was using him as a study for a subject at school.
he is now 17 and quite clever.
He suprised us all
Being dyslexic and having support throughout school, he did very very well in his exams too....

sorry rambling on.
very proud of little brother emoticon

sorry that should have said 18 months

Nearly 16 months - we have about 4 variants on "da". "Duh" is usually associated with duck, "doh" with socks, "dere" with there and very occasionally "da" when dh walks into the room. He makes other sounds but never in a way that suggests he's trying to communicate.

At this age dd had loads of words and was putting them together. ds understands almost everything we say to him and is extremely good at making his feelings known. I am a bit concerned about the lack of words but keep reassuring myself that a gobby older sister plus high levels of understanding probably mean he'll get there in the end.

Inever - he is my first so illness includes the usual colds and teething, which he is suffering with at the moment, I'm just a neurotic first time mum. Thanks for being nice though!
Bumper, a few months ago I was showing DS some sheep and asked what do sheep say? He replied "baaa", I was so impressed and made a big fuss of him. So, when we later saw some horses and I asked what they said, his reply was "baaaaa"

No 300 not 30. I counted them because I thought she had a developmental check at 18mths, turns out it was 2yrs, by which time she could speak in clear sentences and sing the first line of some nursery rhymes We went to spain on holiday when she was 15mths by that time she had approx 30 words. The HV has said she is very bright.

my 15 month old says the following
Cat
Dada
Hiya
Yeah for Yes

She is now2.9mths and speaks clearly like a reception aged child, including correct grammer most of the time i.e. I am, you are, etc.

My boy is 15 months and says:

Car, book(y), quack, man, nan, cat, dog, moon, guitar, bear, makka (as in pakka ), bath, baaaaaby, bee.

Boob, ball, balloon and Bean (my hubby's nickname)are all rendered as "Buggan"

trike, tractor, and train are all "a-tick-a-tah"

He's currently attempting teeth, fish and atishoo which are all just coming out as lots of between the teeth hissing

neither of mine said anything (ds1 might have said mum, ds2 certainly didn't say anything) at that age.

dd (14 months)
'mummy' (to anyone taller than her!)

One.
That's it.

DS 14m - mumumumumumudadadadadatatatatatatat at everything. Oh, and "Dis!" or "Dat!" while urgently pressing dog hair/gravel/a spider into your palm.

Nothing which I would call a word. I'm glad I'm not being neglectful by being unconcerned

DD is 17 months and says the usual mum, dad, this , that, shoe, star etc etc. Not huge amount, but its her gobbledigook I love - she's so serious when in conversation with me. I have to answer back but sometimes she looks at me as if i'm a complete idiot!
Living in Oz, she has picked up "bugger" and "Wiggle" (bah!) and today everything was "boogie woogie". haha! I just love this age. Lets face it, they're all pretty much at the same level once they start school and I'm not going to worry unless she stops talking completely.

DD1 had 26 words at around 20/22months I think (I did count ) but everyone used to think that she was one of those children who talked really well but only I could understand as she used to talk gobble-ti-gook very confidently and conversationally with an occasional word. Old ladies at bus-stops always wanted me to translate and looked quite sorry for her when I said I didn't understand either.

Hiya.
My 18month old says dadeee dadeee dadeee (never once) and uh oh.
That's it.
I still think he is normal though?

My daughter is 21 months and pretty much says everything. She can repeat every word anyone says to her, and even difficult words like aeroplane and helicopter can be understood by strangers. She talks in simple sentences wih no 'baby talk' at all now.

My sons didn't speak til over two, one in particular didn;t even babble or attempt speech. He is now very bright and articulate and never shuts up!

The OPs child sounds absolutely typical to me and you shouldn't worry at all.

DS (12 months) has a few words. First word was boob but now also says sounds understandable as: mum, dad, banana, biscuit, hiya, Fergus (the dog), pea, and blueberry.

DD 17 mo says a lot of words. I've never counted but must be >50.
No useful words though. Just can't seem to get please or thank you but knows every animal under the sun even weird ones like giraffe or penguin and every fruit: booberry is my favourite.
In the last month puts two words together cat gone, drinkie fall down stuff like that.
Most embarrassing is sit which you can guess what it sounds like. She is fond of announcing that loudly in church when everyone sits after the hymns.
