First words anyone??

My little guy will be turning one November 2nd and he still hasn't said his first words. He has said Dada it's more so him making the sound and not knowing. We read every night and we talk to him everyday. I'm not sure if I should be concerned if I sound a bit crazy, but I don't know, I make sure we may make eye contact every time I'm talking to him and he sees my lips when I make out. Mama or any other words. He understands me when I say milk or juice or eat. I don't even know if I'm reaching out for advice or what at this point? But if anyone has similar experience or any thoughts? It would be greatly appreciated. :)

Personally I believe it’s totally normal at this age. Just keep practicing and mention it at the 1yr well child visit. After about 15-18 months, then I’d be concerned.

I have twins they’ll be one that day they both say dada but one started saying shit as her first word 🤦🏽‍♀️but the other one doesn’t really say anything she just makes noises and barely even says dada I think it’s normal for this age to not say much

My son has one word, and that's it, and it's completely ridiculous. It's a Korean exclamation. His dad is Korean and the SAHP, and we're doing one parent one language. It's too silly. But he's always been a 'talkative' baby, so that may play into it more than how much we talk to him? Like, he's so talkative that on days he didn't babble, we got worried in the early days

Every baby is completely different! Don't stress, especially with them being just under a year. I think as they get closer to 18 months, you'll hear more. Your babies brain can also be putting a priority on learning how to be more mobile. The words will come! It's just a different side of the brain. The words will come when he's ready!

@Nia 😂

Boys also usually start speaking later than girls. Before 15 months I wouldn’t expect much. Mine turned 1 today and he makes a ton of sounds but no clear words yet.

My boy has the same birthday! Same here and not concerned at all. They say walking (around) 1, talking (around) 2. milestones can easily stress us first time mamas out but usually everything is fine and they do everything they need to eventually! ♥️
