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!

What you can do is, start with 2 -3 words when u are talking to him. For example: -Drink milk/you want milk -wear shoe/wear your shoe -go out/let's go out Talk as simple as you can to your LO, so they can pick your words easily. Once he can say 2-3 words, than u can slowly increase the words. If you talk like a bullet train to him, he may not be able to catch it fast and anyhiw babble away instead.
