POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. Most babies start talking simple words like “mama” or “dada” between 9 to 15 months, and by 18 to 24 months, they usually begin forming small sentences. Every child develops at their own pace, so don’t worry if yours is a little early or late.
🗣️ How to Encourage Talking: Talk Often – Speak to your child throughout the day: describe what you're doing, name objects, and express feelings. Respond to Sounds – When your baby coos or babbles, respond with words and expressions to keep the conversation going. Read Daily – Read colorful picture books aloud. Use expression and name things in the book clearly. Sing Songs & Rhymes – Repetitive nursery rhymes and simple songs help babies learn sounds and words. Name Everything – Point to and name everyday things like toys, food, clothes, etc. Limit Screen Time – Real interaction is much more effective than passive listening to videos.
Celebrate even small efforts and avoid pressuring your child. If your child isn’t saying single words by 18 months or showing interest in communication, it’s good to consult a pediatrician or speech therapist for guidance.
