Hi,, yes my son deagan is just 6months and says Da-da Ba-ba and Ma-ma. Hes really trying to talk all the time

I wouldn't expect a child to start TALKING before 6months, they make SOUNDS tho, hell , if I take what sounds my son says as actual words, then he frequently says Mum mum mum , da........da , and bub bub bub ...however, I know that when they actually start properly talking, not just making sounds , it sounds a lot different .

Sorry , if I sound pessimistic, I know how eager some mums are to hear their child talk, especially the first kid ....

my baby started with mama first but has now since found Dada and now she cannot stop saying it. All day long it is dada unless she is tired, upset or hungry then it is mama. Always the way.

My little boy was 6 months on the 7th. He said a very clear dad back in september and has said mum and Nan. That being said, he hasn't sat up by himself yet...

Our daughter started to say hello when she was only 10.5 weeks old! She hurt her toe once, at about 12 weeks of age, and she kept repeating "ow, mom" over and over. Probably just coincidence or accidental, but I'd like to think she knows some words. She babbles to her toys all the time, and will throw some actual words in there. I talk to her ALL the time, and she watches my mouth very closely and tries to repeat what I say. She is 5.5 months old now. She also thinks the word "hi" is hilarious for some reason!

my daughter started saying mama when she cried at 5 months but to this day a few days from 6 months she still does it.. and when she is in the backseat in the car she does too..

mine has been saying ma-ma, ma-ma a lot but i don't think she knows what it means.. i think it's more like 8 or 9 months when they know what they're saying (but i'm no expert).

my little girl has started saying da da in the last week, its lovely to her new sounds coming from her. x

Lacy - posted on 12/02/2009

i dont really think their words just yet but when she was crying the other day in her crib we oculd have sworn she said maaama but im not so sure it was intentional, but she will try to talk back to you if you look directly at her and say stuff she mimicks what ever we do with our mouth or tongue.

my daughter is 25wks and she says mama, dada, bubba

Kelsey - posted on 12/02/2009

I heard they may say words by accident or may immitate your words but are not yet old enough to connect the word to its meaning. But that ok, its good for them to say it whether they know what it means or not.

mmh, just two days ago=]

Kathy - posted on 12/02/2009

Im not sure if my son does it intentionally but he'll say 'da da da'. He's about six months old. I like to think he is calling for his daddy though

Kerin - posted on 12/02/2009

my baby is also 5 months n half.. i cant believe he's already saying da-da, I cant wait for him to say mama.. he's trying to say others words, but da-da is the most clear one he got so far.

Kristina - posted on 12/02/2009

my son said mom and mama mostly but has said dada too. i was toldthey usually say dada first. guess my son is backwards. he started saying them at 5 months, 1week ( last thursday) he now is bababa everything.

Rachael - posted on 12/01/2009

I don't think so, but it sounds like he says "Hi" a lot, lol. Especially when I go to pick him up.

Cori - posted on 12/01/2009

No Da-da but if we go "ha ha ha" he'll repeat back "Ha ha". I know it isn't clear but when we say "I love you" he respond back "aaagooo" that kinda sounds similar. It is fun how they start to pick up on things.

My little ones first word was ma-ma and a few weeks later pa-pa

Brandy - posted on 11/28/2009

My baby girl can clearly say da-da while looking at her dad. No joke! And she says hi too. Clear as day. She has said it three times right after someone says hi to her. Its pretty cool.

Elise - posted on 11/26/2009

Not yet.. but she imitates and definitely studies hard when we talk to her! I hope soon! But I also love the baby babbles!

I was told that most babes first worda is dad or something close to that because its easier to say then mom..but let me tell you, when my babe gets mad, fussy or sad I SWEAR he says momma over and over..i dont know what to think, but he really really does!!

My son does the exact same thing, and only when I am not holding him he does this.  Once I heard him clearly say dada but he hasn't done it again.  So we are back to mamamamamama!  lol

No, but I swear my daughter accidentally puts syllables together that actually form words. It's really freaky, because it's not even like you would think that it just kind of sounded like she said a specific word. It really sounded like it. She's said yes, where, and ok.

Too funny! Same thing for our daughter, she said a few things but the best was when my husband had some buddies over and one of them said 'hello' to her I swear she said it back clear as a bell! All the guys stopped what they were doing and looked at her! lol

I swear my little boy says good and dada but his daddy says im delirious lol

Leah - posted on 11/22/2009

Elizabeth said mama several times for 3 days. that was almost a month ago and she hasnt said it since. my husband wasnt around for it and he doesnt believe me. lol. go figure. I wish she would say it again. it was the cutest thing ever. i would even be happy with dada.

Ashley - posted on 11/21/2009

My son is also 5 n a half months and he hasnt clearly said a word yet. My best friends daughter just started sayin mum & dada & she is 8months. Every child is different & i've been told that its also how much you work with him. I work with son Joelian every day, & i swear hes says yea all the time. He trys so hard to talk, he jibber jabbers all the time even to his tigger haha, but no clear works yet. This month has been exciting for me, i feel like he does something new every day, hopefully mum mum soon

Terica - posted on 11/20/2009

I know for the longest my little girl sounds like she trying to imitate me when I asked her was she being funny or cute. I swear it sounded like she said cute.
I'll be glad when she learns to say mom because saying da da at 11:52 at night wasn't fun but I'm glad she is starting to talk.
