Her brain is just ahead of her little mouth. Absolutely nothing to worry about at 15 months.

He still approximates words like that, but usually incorrectly. He is not even considered delayed enough to qualify for services. There is such a wide range of speech development, if receptive language is going well, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Really cute!

Actually that cohort is anywhere from 13 months old to 21 months. Fitting OPs timeline exactly.

The article in your first link shows Covid babies age 0-6 months (the only group studied) were slightly advanced in communication development. Just FYI.
That same group of Covid babies is now 18-24 months old. Just ahead of OPs child. They'll be releasing the 6-12 month study soon enough.

Normal. Keep reading to her, using a wide vocabulary, explaining what you’re doing around the house etc. She will keep working on pronunciation as she picks up new words and abilities to pronounce letter sets and word sounds.

Seems normal to me? I think mine had nose, baba (means puppy), uh-oh, and tai (means car) at that age and she’s now forming sentences and understandable to other adults at 2.

We understand her (va means vacuum, neaf means underneath, etc) but only mama, dada, and bye-bye would be clear to a stranger. She is putting words together though.
This is within normal, right? I feel like my older kid’s words were clearer at this age.
