How many words does a 2 year old say?

There's no magic number for how many words a 2-year-old should say. Every child develops at their own pace!

Here's what's more important than counting words:

* Understanding: A 2-year-old should understand and follow simple instructions, like "Come here" or "Give me the ball."

* Putting words together: They should be starting to combine words into simple phrases, like "Want milk" or "More cookie."

* Communication: They should be able to use words and gestures to communicate their needs and wants.

If you have concerns about your child's language development, it's always best to talk to your pediatrician. They can help you assess your child's progress and recommend any necessary support.
