How many words should a one year old say?

Question

My LO turned one on the 26th, she only really says mama, dog, dada, sometimes cat, and babbles a lot.. I know all babies move at their own pace but I can’t help but be worried

Answer

Mine just says Mama, and babbles

Answer

My son has the same birthday. He babbles a lot too. Only words are mama,dada,baby. He also says duack which is a mix between duck and quack 😂 but honestly I’m not worried about it. I’m enjoying the time where he can’t talk Back to me and say no all the time lol

Answer

I wish my son said that many words. He says Dada, bubba, bye and uh oh. That’s basically it. I’m trying not to worry too much yet

Answer

I think that's normal. My daughter was 1 on the 19th and she says about 6 words: Pat pat (for party cake), tickle tickle, Pop Pop (for my dad), bye bye, bubble, and go go go. But I think that's a lot for this age.

Answer

Don’t worry. I asked the pediatrician at my daughters 12 month appointment and she said there aren’t any speech milestones at 12 months. At 15 months they look for either 1-3 or 3-5 words (I can’t remember what exactly she said), and the at 18 months I think she said it would be up to 5-10ish. At the 2 year checkup they’re looking for I think around 30? 
Either way, don’t stress now! My LO primarily says dada and that’s about it 🤷🏻‍♀️ but she babbles a TON and has started trying to imitate some sounds so I’m sure it’ll all be good :)

Answer

They just look for two words at 12 months. Signs count too! ❤️

Answer

She says Dada, Mama (only when she cries 🙄) hi, yay, Ra Ra. I think the Ra Ra is her trying to say her name (Nora😂❤️)

Answer

He says mama, dada, door, and meows lol

Answer

I think it's normal. 
My daughter says Mama, dada, hi, eye, hide, what and yeah. 
I want to add that I know 3 kids in my family that literally said only 2-3 words until 2 years old and finally started talking and do fine now. Every kid is so different, so try not to stress it, but if you want to try to encourage it you can narrate your day, listen and sing to music a lot, read books, and explain everything they are doing and looking at all day. Pretty much anything that increases exposure to language, other than that don't stress it especially this young.
