Hey! My little boy is a massive babbler too! And I love it! But I was just slightly worried maybe that more of it should be recognisable by now? Tbh I don’t completely know so if I am ahead of myself than that’s also fine too! As I said in my post he can understand things i say/ask him, but just didn’t know how may words they should have by now. I know I understand a lot of his wants / needs but i think that is more maternal instinct or closer relationship, as daddy and nana don’t seem to always get it, even tho that’s alll he says 😩😂 guess I just wish he would say mummy 😂
Hope that makes sense sorry 😩😂
My LB is the same, he understands a lot like milk/bath/shoes/dummy/muslin/outside/car etc but doesnt say words we can understand. He said mumma/dadda but then that seemed to stop & now he babbles loads & says dog & then sometimes mamma/dadda. I guess their little brains have soo much going off. Im not worried though xx
I put a post up about this last night.. my boy says mama very rarely. Won’t say dada anymore either & all his babbling has stopped. He makes sounds when he wants something but thats about it. My daughter was stringing sentences together at this age. He understands everything we say to him & knows where body parts are but just point blank refuses to speak x
Fyi I've been encouraging my daughter to say mumma since the day she was born. Nope. She's makes the "ma" sound only when she cries 🤣 so maybe that is what she means. But I understand why you are worried and think it's valid. Personally I'm not because of the babbling, and he ability to communicate otherwise 🤗 they will get there 🫶🏻
My little lady is 16 months doesn’t say more then mama, gaga, baaa, but she understands quite abit, as I’ve always talked to her and shown her exactly what I’m talking about or asking etc eg you want some egg “🥚 I’d show her the egg” or you want to watch coco “ Cocomelon” on the tv xx
I think the general guidance is to say about 10 words by 18 months, not necessarily all clear. That's the stage our nursery reference from the government early years framework
All babies are different and they will all talk in their own time ♥️ My little girl does talk quite well and she is saying new words every day but many of my friend’s babies from mothers group with same aged babies, are saying very few words. Each is normal and unique to their own time line. My little girl might talk well, but she hasn’t slept more than 3 hours at a time and feeding her solids has been very difficult. We all have our challenges when it comes to milestones.
He can say muma dada bumbum and little star. He understands a lot of words just doesn't say many he babbles loads though.
Morning! My little girl can babble the whole day but barely says anything co-herent! Personally I'm not worried because she babbles and will communicate with me in other ways and does understand some things I say. The only thing that actually sounds like what she is pointing to is cat. I do say a lot of words to her etc. But she just doesn't really say anything other than that. Hi and Bye seems to be creeping it's way in..
