Infant and Toddler Milestones · NCLEX Exam

A 15-month-old toddler who only says “mama” and “dada” but doesn’t use other words or gestures, this is concerning because by this age one would expect:

  1. No more than the words “mama” and “dada”
  2. Use of several words plus some meaningful gestures
  3. Naming colours and following two-step commands
  4. Speaking in short, grammatically complete sentences
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Use of several words plus some meaningful gestures

By around 15 months toddlers typically use more than just “mama”/“dada” and begin meaningful gestures and extra words; delay may signal concern.
