My baby very clearly says mama and dada and other basic babble words. He has no idea what they mean and I don't think he says them with purpose yet. He understands lots of words like clap, hi, bye, come, no, up, down, bottle, kitty, etc but can't say any of them yet himself.
We get "mama," "dada," *buba," and "nana" for banana. He loves them!
We have mama, in and out, clapping and pointing and he definitely knows what they mean.
Dada, mama very rarely, her big sisters name, bear, dog, bird, eat, cheese, hello, bye, belly button, ball, baby, and some other I can’t remember
That’s more than my baby does 😂 Mine only “says” mama and dada. Doesn’t point or wave yet. Starting to literally say “goo goo ga ga” haha
