How many words could your toddler say at 14 months?

[Antheia]

Lily only said mumma and dada until she was about 17mths old. She is very very vocal and babbles non-stop. Only just now, at nearly 20 months she will only say mum, dad, hello, bye-bye and tickle. Whereas others her age may say a whole lot more. I admit i was very very worried that she had a speech problem. But now i just think she is a late talker.

Ally all children progress at their own rate and I think boys are usually slower then girls.

Matthew will be 15 months on the 3rd August so not too much older then your DS, off the top of my head he`s up to at least 14 words - Mum, Dad, Mam, Nan, Ta, Cat, Cow, Up, Bye Bye, Hello, goat, book,car, bubbles - I have a feeling I`m missing something.

Do you see a Clinic Nurse? If your at all worried it might be worth talking to her but if I was in your shoes I`d give your son a few more months before I got too worried, you`ll probably find he`s advanced in other areas.

Dee, I have heard that boys progress slower than girls. That is amazing that your DS says all of those words. I think I will see a clinic nurse just to be sure...DS is however very quick at working out puzzles and games etc, and very quick to copy what we do, so i guess he is advancing in other areas. Just wish he would talk instead of Agh Agh Agh at me!!!!LOL

Ally - I can sympathise I`m getting that all this week as well, it can get rather annoying!!!!!!

Sounds like he`s doing well in other areas, when did he say his first word? Matthew was just under 6 months which I think is early.

Dee Joy, He was saying Mum Mum at 51/2 Months, and Dad Dad at 6 Months, but that is all he has ever said. Oh, and i have heard him say bath once LOL. I remember my Neice was saying alot of words at 12 months. I used to love hearing her say Turtle, it was sooo cute, sounded more like DoooTool LOL!
