At 18 months, the typical vocabulary size for a toddler varies, but on average:

• Number of words: Most 18-month-old children have a vocabulary of about 50 to 100 words.
• Types of words: These often include simple nouns (like "mama," "dada," "ball"), common verbs, and some social words like "hi" or "bye."
• Word combinations: Some toddlers may begin to combine two words into simple phrases (e.g., "more juice," "go car").

Important notes:

• Vocabulary size can vary widely among children at this age.
• Some toddlers may have fewer words but still be developing language skills normally.
• If you have concerns about a child's language development, consulting a pediatrician or speech-language pathologist is recommended.
