As babies gradually learn to crawl and sit, many mothers and fathers hope that they can learn to speak as soon as possible. When babies learn to speak, hearing them call out 'mom and dad' is also something that excites the whole family. So, at what age do babies speak?
The development of infant language is directly related to the normal development of hearing, oral cavity, throat muscles, and brain. Many babies start learning pronunciation and language at 3 to 4 months old, and at 6 to 7 months old, they will have a basic cognitive awareness, understand what their parents are saying, and know that they are calling their names. They will also show happy and joyful expressions, such as smiling and dancing at their parents.
Most babies will pronounce sounds similar to 'mom' or 'dad' by the age of 7 to 8 months. After a full year, I will start to speak some simple words and consciously say homophones or monosyllabic words. Most babies start speaking around the age of one, and after reaching the age of two, they can communicate with adults in a simple way.
After the baby turns one year old, it is a period of language development. Parents must create a good language environment for the baby and communicate more with them. Not only can it help babies learn to speak faster, but it also contributes to their language development and enhances the relationship between parents and babies.
