baby first word?

First real words usually come around 10-14 months, though 8-18 months is still normal. The most common first words are "mama," "dada," "grandpa"—simple, repeated sounds. In the months before, baby's been babbling (ba-ba, da-da, ma-ma), which is practice. A real first word means baby uses the same sound for the same person or thing over and over—saying it once in a while doesn't count. By 12 months, most babies use 1-3 words, and by 24 months, they're putting two words together. If there are no real words by 18 months or no two-word phrases by 24 months, it's worth having a child development specialist take a look.
