That\u2019s baby talk, and baby talk sounds similar the world over.<\/p>\n<p>But when will you hear your baby\u2019s first words? Critical milestones for a baby learning to talk happen in the first three years of life, when a baby\u2019s brain is rapidly developing. During that time, your baby\u2019s speech development depends on your \u201cbaby talk\u201d skills as well as your baby\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>The first \u201cbaby talk\u201d is nonverbal and happens soon after birth. Your baby grimaces, cries, and squirms to express a range of emotions and physical needs, from fear and hunger to frustration and sensory overload. Good parents learn to listen and interpret their baby\u2019s different cries.<\/p>\n<p>Buf, if your baby will say those magical first words varies greatly from individual baby to individual baby. But if your baby misses any of the following milestones in speech development, talk to your pediatrician or family doctor about your concerns. Baby Talk Milestones<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Baby talk at 3 months. At 3 months, your baby listens to your voice, watches your face as you talk, and turns toward other voices, sounds, and music that can be heard around the home. Many infants prefer a woman\u2019s voice over a man\u2019s. Many also prefer voices and music they heard while they were still in the womb. By the end of three months, babies begin \u201ccooing\u201d a happy, gentle, repetitive, sing-song vocalization.<\/li>\n<li>Baby talk at 6 months. At 6 months, your baby begins babbling with different sounds. For example, your baby may say \u201cba-ba\u201d or \u201cda-da.\u201d By the end of the sixth or seventh month, babies respond to their own names, recognize their native language, and use their tone of voice to tell you they\u2019re happy or upset. Some eager parents interpret a string of \u201cda-da\u201d babbles as their baby\u2019s first words \u201cdaddy!\u201d But babbling at this age is usually still made up of random syllables without real meaning or comprehension.<\/li>\n<li>Baby talk at 9 months. After 9 months, babies can understand a few basic words like \u201cno\u201d and \u201cbye-bye.\u201d They also may begin to use a wider range of consonant sounds and tones of voice.<\/li>\n<li>Baby talk at 12-18 months. Most babies say a few simple words like \u201cmama\u201d and \u201cdadda\u201d by the end of 12 months and now know what they\u2019re saying. They respond to or at least understand, if not obey your short, one-step requests such as, \u201cPlease put that down.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Baby talk at 18 months. Babies at this age say several simple words and can point to people, objects, and body parts you name for them. They repeat words or sounds they hear you say, like the last word in a sentence. But they often leave off endings or beginnings of words. For example, they may say \u201cdaw\u201d for \u201cdog\u201d or \u201cnoo-noo\u2019s\u201d for \u201cnoodles.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Baby talk at 2 years. By age 2, babies string together a few words in short phrases of two to four words, such as \u201cMommy bye-bye\u201d or \u201cme milk.\u201d They\u2019re learning that words mean more than objects like \u201ccup\u201d they also mean abstract ideas like \u201cmine.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Baby talk at 3 years. By the time your baby is age 3, his or her vocabulary expands rapidly, and \u201cmake-believe\u201d play spurs an understanding of symbolic and abstract language like \u201cnow,\u201d feelings like \u201csad,\u201d and spatial concepts like \u201cin.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before babies learn to talk in a real language, their parent\u2019s native tongue, they babble and coo, playing with sound.
