A. Baby start to say monosyllables like ma, da at 6 -7 months of age.  And Bisyllables like mama, dada, at 9-10 months of age  Baby start to say 2 words at 12-14 months of age  And jargon speech come at 15 -16 months of age.  Baby can speak simple sentences of 2-3 words at 20-24 months of age.  Some babys achieve these at early and some may be delay in achieving that.  No need to worry for that.   Spend more time with ur baby only  Encourage ur baby to speak  Avoid overcrowding of multiple languages at home to speak with baby Better to speak in mother tongue and teach that language to baby first  The physical maturity and readiness skills needed for successful toilet learning appear at the same time in girls and boys-between 18 and 30 months of age. The average age for girls to be toilet trained is 29  months, and for boys it's 31 months Toilet training tips: Proceed slowly and take signals from your child. Give your child a feeling of active participation, control and independence. Let your child get used to the potty seat. Allow your child to sit on the seat fully clothed, Let your child see parents and older siblings using the toilet. Learn your child’s behavioral clues that signal he or she is about to go (for example, grimacing or stopping activity). Talk about the feeling of having to go and encourage your child to notice it and tell you when he or she has that feeling.

A. Communicate about pee-pee and poo-poo While changing your baby's diaper talk to him or her about what's going on. Don't teach your baby that pee or poop is dirty, instead praise him or her. Teach your child the difference between dry and wet,… all of this will come in handy when you decide to start potty-training.
