When did you DC say mama?

DD is almost 11 months and I'm still dada. When I or someone else says mama or mommy she looks at me, but she still calls me (and everyone else dada!) Actually it is the only word she says other than babble. Is that normal at this age?

No baba either.

Re: When did you DC say mama?

sounds pretty normal to me.

Only in the last month did DS start making the distinction. But he said mama first Everyone was mama. Then for about a week, everyone was dada. Now, he makes a clear distincting and even says "oma" for my grandma and "ama" when he means my mom, his grandma. But he makes the same sound for Emma. So I guess my mom and the dog have the same name

My 11 month old DS doesn't refer to us as anything. He says mama and dada but I dont think he knows that is who we are, he is just babbling. He doesn't say any other words yet. I am not going to worry about it for another month and then I will ask my doctor.

Gilly says Mama, Baba, Illllllw, yeah, and has said Dada only a few times. She said Mama probably at 8months i think...

Re: When did you DC say mama?

ahhhhh I'm sooo tired of dada. She's been saying it since 6 months! Dada, daddy and nothing else

DS has been saying mama for about 2wks. (he's 7.5 mos) Not sure if he's really calling me but he says it He hasn't even said anything that sounds like dada.

I think he calls me nononono... seriously...I never get mama. I call myself mama.

Re: When did you DC say mama?

She says Mama during babbling but not directly to me. DH got Dada directly at him a few times.

Re: When did you DC say mama?

She says it, and I think she knows its me but she doesn't crawl around looking for me saying it like she does Dada, Daddy. I say where is Dada and she looks at him or for him and when DH says where is Mama, she is like, who cares.

Kara just started saying mama about 2 weeks ago. She is 8 months. I think she knows what it means because she looks at me, but what the heck to I know.

I wouldn't worry too much she might just be taking her own sweet time. I know a little girl who is 18 months and refuses to say mama. Will say other things like dada, plane etc. How frustrating would that be?

DD is 11 months old and just started about 3 weeks ago REALLY saying it- not just in passing and during a babble- just keep talking to DC and referring to yourself as mama- it will happen.
