terrri86 · Apr 6th, 2012, 02:12 AM

like the titleays 15 month old dd (she just turned 15 months this week) isnt really talking

she walked early at 11 months and runs etc, she climbs and all that stuff but her vocabulary isnt good

she says,

mam
dad
nan
ta
hiya

and occasionally baba/baby

is this ok? everywhere ive read said she shud be saying a few nouns (dog, cookie etc) and no, she never says these and im worried im doing something wrong

Sounds perfect to me. LO is 16 months and has less words than ours.
Some just focus on physical more than talking etc

aw no hunni, i wouldn't worry at all! and your certainly not doing anything wrong!
I bet you'll find one day she just comes out with a load of words! I think 6 understandable words is about right for that age, but either way, iits 6 words you should be proud of =) Just keep talking to her, reading to her, and really do what your doing =) xxx

thanks all, i think i googled too much

she is my first and i worry terribly about everything!

all these websites saying she shud be saying dog and cookie and the infamous toddler favourite of no and nothing,

they also said she shud b understanding me when i say things like bring me your shoes etc
she doesnt (or if she does she pretends not too) she does know what her shoes are tho cos shes forever trying to put them on lol.

the only actions she seems to understand is

can i have a kiss/hug
and no

Id say your LO sounds perfect

Paige is almost 15 months, and walked early as soon as she was 10 months. Id say its the last few weeks that she has just started to say everything! Some of them are a bit different from the proper word, but she does say them in context.
She says Baby, ball, dog, bubbles, bath, hiya, uh-oh, wow, shoes, juice, Jasper (mums dog) Niamh (cuz) and a few more she attempts to say. (she can say mum and dad but I dont think she actually says mum to me iykwim?)

Id say your LO is definitely on track and can only learn more and more! So try not to worry

E is 17 months almost and she only says daddy and oh dear, i can't think of any other words she can say, none i don't think lol i am not worried though xx

DS is almost 15 months and says Dada and Car and that's it really. No mama yet! He does understand if I ask him to bring me something. I'm not worried, I'm sure it will happen soon.

in a single word...no!

Barry is 20 months old and says roughly the same things your LO does.

no rush, they talk when they are ready!
