Speech at 15mo?

4 replies

So being a bit stupid and worrying here but still, worrying.

I seen a video on the internet someone saying 18 month olds should say 50 words. I immediately panic as my 15mo says around 10 and I thought how will he get to that many in 3 months?

I googled it and it says 10-20 words at 18 months? So I’m confused

what is ‘normal’

he seems to understand everything even our complex sentences so that’s always good!but yeah says around 10 words

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

10 words at 15m is great! He's doing fine OP. Stop worrying.

We were watching Ms Rachel the other day and she reckons “16 gestures by 16 months” which seems like loads.

As for speech, what words is your LO saying? 10 sounds absolutely fine for that age.
