What age do babies talk sentences?

Babies typically start putting together two-word phrases, like "more milk" or "want ball," between 18 and 24 months old. This is considered the start of "telegraphic speech".

However, the age at which babies start talking in full sentences varies greatly, and it's not a strict milestone. Some babies might start stringing together simple sentences earlier, while others might take a bit longer.

Here's a general timeline:

* 12-18 months: Babies start to use single words, like "mama," "dada," or "bye-bye."

* 18-24 months: Two-word phrases appear, like "want cookie" or "go outside."

* 2-3 years: Babies start to use short, simple sentences, like "I want juice" or "Mommy, look."

* 3-4 years: Sentences become more complex, with more words and grammatical structures.

Remember, every child develops at their own pace. If you are concerned about your child's language development, it's always best to talk to your pediatrician.
