How many words at 1 year?

[amberj]

No real words here at 13 months. Maybe 'mamama' and 'dadadada' with some purpose, but its hard to tell. Plenty of babbling in his own strange language. I'm not worried.

Leasha, my daughter wasnt a big talker either. When she was 1, I think all she really said was 'mummy', 'daddy', 'bye bye', 'hi'.

Then all of a sudden, when she was about 18-20 months old (i cant remember exactly when!), she had a word explosion and practically overnight, she could say HEAPS more words like nanna, shoes, poo, yes, pants, hat, book, baby, dog, car...

i honestly do not think you have anything to worry about, but if you are still concerned maybe you should speak to a professional. this website may be useful for finding a speech pathologist in your area - Speech Pathology Australia - Home. my eldest son had about ten words in his repertoire at one but once he hit 18 months he was dishing out a new word everyday. hang in there!

Not many.

Mum
mama
mum mum mum
Dad
dad dad dad
Bella (our dog)
hello (well we think that's what he's saying lol)
bub bub bub bub

I think that's about it. He babbles a lot but who knows what he's trying to say.

My Jazz I think only said Dad, Mum, tata (as in bye bye) and I think she started picking up uh-oh at about 1 as well. She was babbling a lot and learning reflection in her babbling. Now that she's almost 17 months she's starting to have a bit of a word explosion though and I think she learns a new word every one or two days at the moment.
Your Jazz sounds perfectly normal for a 1 year old.

Sounds perfectly fine to me hun
DS only really says "mumma/mum" & "gollygollygollygolly" while his dummies in his mouth LOL He also does alot of babbling. He hasn't even really said "dada" yet (although ask XH & he swears he heard it once LOL)
I cant really remember DD's speach at this age (although I do have her first 5 yrs book, I might have a look out of curiosity!) I think she really took off with words somewhere around 12-18 months??
I'm not worried about DS's few words & you shouldn't be about Jazz's... it sounds like she's doing great with everything else!!!

Thanks everyone Feel better now. I've got Jazzy's birthday on the 9th amd I'm already worrying about 'comparisons' by some people...

We realised she was doing something else last night, when someone says 'hello' she waves. Not attempt to say hello PMSL but she starts waving like she's trying to take off hehehe. Had me in stitches at the Good Guys, she was in the sling and people were saying "oh, hello!" to her, and she'd start waving her arm off at them. Hehehehe funny little chicken.

Nixon had no words at 18 mths and by the time he was 2 he was talking heaps , saved me a trip to the speechie which MCHN had set up ...now he wont shut up !!
