POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Children typically start speaking their first words around 12 months of age. However, the timeline can vary:
- **6 to 9 months:** Babies start babbling and making repetitive sounds like "bababa" or "dadada."
- **10 to 15 months:** Most children say their first meaningful words, such as "mama" or "dada."
- **18 months:** Many children can say several words and may start combining two words to make simple phrases like "more juice."
- **2 years:** Vocabulary rapidly expands, and they may begin forming simple sentences with 2-3 words.
Every child develops at their own pace, so there is a range of what is considered typical. If you have concerns about your child's speech development, it's always a good idea to consult with a pediatrician.
