One of the things mothers look forward to most is hearing their baby call them “mommy” for the first time.
As a mother, I confirm that this feeling is one of the most beautiful things in the world, a very special moment.
I was very excited about this moment, and at the time I asked a pediatrician friend when children started talking.
In today’s article I’m going to tell you how many months a baby speaks mom and explain a little about how a child’s speech develops, so read carefully!
When does the baby say mommy?
Babies only start speaking words when they are 8 to 12 months old.
We know that our greatest happiness would be to hear our children talking to Mom for the first time, but unfortunately this may take a while to happen.
Children begin to speak around 8 months of age, but this does not prevent them from being able to speak before then.
When does the baby start talking?
As we explained above, babies begin to speak between 8 and 12 months of age, but the speech process varies according to each baby and their difficulties.
There is anxiety among parents about when the baby will start talking, but rest assured that this can happen up to 18 months of age.
It is up to this age that the child’s speech normally develops, he or she will be able to speak a few words and be able to communicate a little more.
But if your baby doesn’t show much progress by this age, you may want to seek pediatric help.
How is the baby’s speech development?
Baby’s speech develops little by little and we will show you below how baby’s speech progresses according to his age.
From 4 to 6 months
The baby begins to make short sounds, such as “ah”, “eh”, in addition to making sounds such as “m”, “b”, “um” and “ba”.
