Hi! I'm a mom of an 18 month old boy. My baby babbles a lot, is able to say mama, dada, yaya, lala (for his grandmother), broom broom for driving or riding a car and understands a lot of words already. When should he be able to speak more words, enough for me not to worry if he is developing at a normal pace. Thanks!

Think your boy is definitely progressing at a fast pace. Most toddlers dun reach that stage so early. Dun be focused on getting the kid to memorise words or names. What you can do is experiential talking where you talk normally to your child and let him pick up the words along the way. He will enjoy the learning through play pretend and you will be surprised how much a young mind can be influenced!
