Wondering 'when do babies start talking?' It's a question every parent asks! While every child develops at their own pace, most babies start cooing and gurgling around 2-3 months. This is their pre-speech practice! Around 6 months, babbling begins – think 'ba-ba' and 'da-da.'
The real magic happens between 9-14 months. This is typically when you'll hear those precious first words, often 'mama' or 'dada.' From there, their vocabulary expands rapidly. By 18 months, they might know around 50 words and start putting two words together.
Remember, these are just general guidelines. Don't stress if your little one isn't hitting these milestones precisely. Talk to your pediatrician if you have any concerns, but mostly, enjoy the journey of listening to your baby find their voice!
