When a baby first begins to identify with someone outside of the mother-child bond, it's usually Dada. If the child is still first identifying with Dada, then Mama usually follows, and this is the first indication that the child is now starting to name permanent objects in his/her life. "Research indicates that 'Dada' is actually more common as the first word than 'mom' or 'moma. In light of this, it should be noted that over the course of our history, moms were typically the ones at home with their babies and likely to talk about the dad at work or when the dad will come home." In the early months of a child's life, they are generally exposed to only a few consonant sounds. The first consonant sounds are rarely 'baba' or 'dada' because they are simple to produce. It is possible that by the age of six months, your child has already begun to experiment with consonants and vowels, and has started to repeat the words that are frequently spoken to them. During these months, it is possible for your baby to say "mama" and "dada" for the first time, and also to communicate using body language, such as waving bye-bye and shaking their head for the first time.  Most Common First Words Dad (or Dada, Daddy, Papa, etc.) Mom (or Mama, Mommy, Mum, etc.) Hi (or Hiya, Hey, Heya, Hello) Buba (or Bub or Baba) Dog (or Doggy, Puppy) Ball. No. Despite the fact that Roman Jakobson, a Russian linguist, states that the sound of "m" (for "mama") is much easier for babies to produce since their mouths tend to be fastened to a bottle or breast, according to Breyne Moskowitz, Ph.D., nasal sounds, such as the sound "m," are more difficult for babies to utter, and they are more likely to do so. According also to Heather Goad, an associate professor of linguistics at McGill University in Montreal, it is much easier to say mama than dada from a phonetics perspective. A baby can produce the word mama with little effort by simply closing and opening their mouth, she explains. However, in order to produce the word D, a tongue gesture is more complicated.  An infant's babbling is a crucial part of the development of a child's speech. Infants generally show signs of being ready to use words from an early age but aren't quite there yet. Babbling provides an indication of a child's development of his or her language. Here are some signs that your baby may start talking soon: Attempts to say her first words (even though they are just sounds). He attempts to converse by babbling a lot. He seems to be understanding what you are saying now that he is looking directly at your face and paying attention to what you are saying. Reacts to anyone waving "goodbye" to him or her. There are several ways a baby can communicate using sounds, gestures, and body language. When a baby is about a year old, he or she will start babbling, playing with sounds, copying sounds, and putting sounds together. It's not uncommon for them to say their first words around 12 months of age. If your child is over two years old, you should have your pediatrician evaluate them and refer them to speech therapy and a hearing test if they cannot produce words or phrases by themselves, they can only imitate speech and actions and can never produce words or phrases themselves, they only say certain words and only those words repeatedly, and they can't follow simple instructions.

Babies are born ready to learn, and their brains develop through experiences. In the first year, babies learn to focus their vision, reach out, explore, and learn about the things that are around them. The first thing your baby will learn is to associate you with getting their needs met. So, the feel of your touch, the sound of your voice, and the sight of your face will begin to mean nourishment, warmth, and comfort. Even at this young age, babies are ready to learn about the world around them. Cognitive, or brain development means the learning process of memory, language, thinking, and reasoning. Learning language is more than making sounds (“babble”), or saying “ma-ma” and “da-da”. Around six to eight months old is a great time to start teaching your baby how to sign. Babies are typically at a developmental stage where they are curious to communicate and pay more attention to things presented to them. Perhaps the most simple way of describing 'learning styles' is to say that they are different methods of learning or understanding new information, the way a person takes in, understand, expresses and remembers information. There are 4 predominant learning styles: Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinaesthetic. Important early learning skills get their start through these everyday moments between babies and adults. Reading together, and watching your baby to learn how she communicates through sounds, facial expressions, and gestures, are both ways to give her a foundation in literacy and language skills. Your child learns best by actively engaging with their environment. This includes: observing things, watching faces and responding to voices. listening to sounds, making sounds and singing. Babies learn to speak by imitating the sounds they hear around them. So the more you talk to your baby, the faster they will acquire speech and language skills. Many adults use a special tone of voice when talking baby talk, a high-pitched voice with exaggerated expression. The Davidson Institute cites a study showing that among 241 “profoundly gifted” children, 91 percent started taking early. On average, they said their first words at age 9 months. Right from mother’s womb babies have a very rapid neurological development that is heavily influenced by Nutrition, Mother’s activity, Environment, Activities a baby is doing, What a baby is seeing and listening. These factors are very important to ensure proper and complete learning of the baby. Various activities influence various parts of the baby's brain, so we need to be very cautious. To promote your baby’s learning, as a parent you should take actions to further encourage these behaviors. For example, you can praise a baby when he reaches his accomplishments, or name the things that he is pointing at. It’s also important to notice when your baby’s memory develops. For example, he will smile when he sees familiar people come around such as family members or friends. Babies respond to words and actions from the people around them. They are born with an insatiable desire for knowledge. They begin to mimic what they see and hear. The more activity around a baby the faster they learn. Children who are denied activities and voices tend to be slower learners. Children learn by observing, listening, exploring, experimenting and asking questions. Being interested, motivated and engaged in learning is important for children once they start school. Always make life enjoyable for babies as soon as they’re born. The best thing you can do for your baby is to talk to them. I know this might sound strange to carry on a conversation with an infant when they can’t talk back, but it is crucial to language development.
