How many words at 18 months?

DD1 had several hundred by that age. She was putting up to 5 word sentences together and could sing entire songs (eg old McDonald, ABCs).

My son sees a speechie for feeding issues and she said by 18 months they expect to have about 20 words give or take 2 months either side. My sons high risk of speech issues due to sensory oral motor control problems so is being watched closely. He has about 10 words and is 15.5 months.

Same as chody. Both mine have been 'talkers' and they had a couple of hundred words at least by then. They were speaking in sentences, answering questions, and singing songs etc. There is just a huge variety I think and it happens all of a sudden, mine just seemed to get to the 'word explosion' stage earlier.
