Baby first speech?

⚡ Short answer: First meaningful words usually come around 12 months, but months of babbling and repetition beforehand (like "agoo," "baba," "mama") is completely normal — watch your baby's speech journey at their own pace.

Baby first speech — this is my first child and I have no idea; can you help?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The fact that you're even asking this shows what a caring mom you are. Being a first-time parent means everything is new and naturally confusing.

Speech development varies from baby to baby, but here's a rough map: Babies start with crying and some sounds, around 4-6 months you see babbles like "agoo" and "ba," by 6-9 months come repetitive sounds like "mama" and "baba," and first real words usually pop up around 12 months.

How many months old is your baby? I can give you more specific pointers based on their age.
