I've heard toddlers learn about 7 words a week.

When I'm into a new language I can learn 20-50 words a day, sustainably. Short term more.

If you define “toddler” as age 1–1.5 then sure.

By the time a child is 2.5 or 3 years old they can be learning dozens of words per day.

The most efficient way to teach new words to kids is to spend as much time as possible reading books with them.
