LO talking back

Hi mammas, so I have a habit of saying “I Love you” and he would normally only grunt and smile really hug at me, however today I swear he said it back to me, and he is only 8 weeks old, please tell me I’m not just imagining it, or are the babies this young can actually make sounds to say “live you” back. Has anyone else experienced it please get back to me.

8 weeks old is too young to cognitively understand and form speech like this. He would have just made a sound that happened to sound like that, which is still super cute!

I think so too, but I almost busted into tears hearing it, he does answer back with a lot of grunting sounds when I’m talking to him

Yessss!!! I have a video I think at 11 weeks. But he had already been doing it!! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_OzMRmSLSo/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

They can start immitating sounds and cadence that early, but it's not true speech yet. Very cute tho!

Yes! My baby makes a noise like ‘a-woo’ that sounds like love you 😂.

Girl my baby started complying my sounds and mouth movements at abt the same age! I def believe this is possible. Ignore the nay sayers lol

It’s great to be talking to your baby and making sounds/ imitating sounds and they may sound like they are coping and experimenting. Not actual talking yet- that will take a lot longer (I’m a speech and language therapist) but definitely very cute and still an important milestone!
