POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy2 years agoA. Every child is different, but if baby isn't saying “mama” and “dada” by 12 to 15 months, flag it for your pediatrician. Most doctors expect children to have mastered those words by that point; for those who haven't, a hearing test or speech therapy may be recommended.Babies typically say words like 'mama' or 'dada' by 12 months old, so if they're not quite that old yet, you might just need to wait a while longer. Once your baby reaches 12 months of age, try to be patient with them, and rest assured that once your baby can talk, they will talk.Parents should speak to a GP, health visitor or speech and language therapist if: Their child has not started to babble to communicate by 12 to 15 months. They are not saying their first words by 18 months. They do not respond well to language, such as not following simple instructions like 'kick ball'.

Talk directly to your toddler, even if just to narrate what you're doing.
Use gestures and point to objects as you say the corresponding words. ...
Read to your toddler. ...
Sing simple songs that are easy to repeat.
Give your full attention when talking to them.
