Mom's that had infants that were major babblers?

Did they talk earlier...DD is 6.5 months almost 7 months and is a MAJOR babbler, all she does all day is babble, she seems like she's trying sooooo hard to say something ( I love it ) so just wondering if mom's that had big babblers spoke earlier....Just curious, sooo want to hear mama out of her...

Re: Mom's that had infants that were major babblers?

Chloe was/is a babbler since 5 MOS. She said Da-Da at 8 MOS, and now at 9 MOS says Ma-Ma. Oh, she also has said ca (for cat) (we have two) as well

Its the BEST!

My DD was a big babbler as well. She said ma-ma and da-da at 7 months. She said her first words, "hi" followed by "baby" at 9 months.

Re: Mom's that had infants that were major babblers?

DS was a big babbler, but he is actually behind with his speech. He's 19 months and says 4 words, 1 animal sound.

Re: Mom's that had infants that were major babblers?

Not mine..... Our speech therapists and our Ped have described to us that babbling is an infant relex....just like rolling over, or grasping etc, babbling is not intentional, it is all reflex at that age ( 6-8 months is when it usually comes out) ....

So my son babbled at the right age but has a severe speech dealy....babbling serves no prediction of later speech unl;ess it is suddenly "lost"...sometimes then there can be a medical issue.

Re: Mom's that had infants that were major babblers?

DS is still babbling at 10.5 months. no words, but lots of "da" "ga" and "ba"

he's a boy though, and i have heard that they talk later, so i am not worried.

Re: Mom's that had infants that were major babblers?

DD was always a babbler and she was a very early talker.

Re: Mom's that had infants that were major babblers?

thanks ladies, so I guess it doesn't mean anything really, she did start babbling sort of early by 4-5 months she was full on babbling, now it's just heigtened that much more, she's never quiet!!! She wakes up babbling and puts herself to sleep babbling... I love it though

Re: Mom's that had infants that were major babblers?

DS babbles all day too and has for a few months but no "real" words yet! Some days I swear he is saying "hi" though, lol. He'll be 8 months on Saturday and I'm so anxious for it too!

Re: Mom's that had infants that were major babblers?

Mila in the last month has been saying mama and dada, but we knew she had no clue who we were...NOW though, she criesssss for mama when i leave the room and shes upset, and she doesnt say dada all day until dh comes home..so i think shes starting to know!!

ds on the other hand was muchhhh later then that, and babbled ALOT

Re: Mom's that had infants that were major babblers?

Andrew was a huge babbler and was speaking very clearly by 1. By 2, he was speaking full sentences and could say every word.

Re: Mom's that had infants that were major babblers?

Not really... he babbled and "talked" with jargon, but actual words happened at around 15-16 mts, and talking where most people could understand by around 20 mts.

The ped was shocked at his babbling at 2 mts - he started "talking" like that very young - but TALKING talking came at the standard time for him.

ETA - by 2, he was speaking full sentences. At 27 mts, we can have full conversations - including things he did at school, yesterday, over the weekend, etc....

thanks ladies, I was a very early talker and I spoke two languages, so my mom thinks I passed this on to her...I'm also trying to talk to her in another language as well, but I think I'm not doing it conisitently enough for her to get it...
