Milestones Continued for 12-18 Month Old!

January 8, 2008 · Filed Under Baby Talk, Child Development, Infant Speech 

At 12-18 months, your baby should:

  • have an expressive vocabulary of between 5- 20 words
  • follow simple directions
  • use mostly nouns
  • be aware of the value of communication

I hope these speech and language milestones are helping you.  If you have concerns about your baby or toddler’s communication development, you should check out the Red Flags section in my blog…

Remember, get baby talking!

    Hi,
    I was trying to read your blog concerning what to do if my 12 month old isn’t say any words yet. A month ago, she did say what and wow, but she just repeated them. Now, she seems to have stopped. She also starting walking around 11 months and has become totally engrossed it that. I read to her daily, and she can follow simple commands, but she will only follow them from time to time.
    Should I be concerned?

    Thanks,
    Vanessa Mares
