Parents who take care of their babies find that other children can already speak, but their own babies still cannot speak. At this time, some parents may feel anxious, but in fact, babies' speech has a certain developmental pattern, and it is necessary for parents to have a proper understanding of this pattern. So, how often do babies talk?
The time when babies usually speak should refer to their ability to articulate. From the baby's pronunciation, it should be between twelve and sixteen months old. Most babies will say their first word at this time. Once the baby says the first word, it doesn't take long for the baby to be able to say more words, which is an increase in the baby's vocabulary.
There are gender differences in the development of baby speech. Simply put, female babies speak earlier than male babies, and their vocabulary is also larger than male babies. Generally speaking, it is not until the age of 16 to 24 months that a male baby's vocabulary becomes more abundant.
In fact, before the baby starts speaking, there will also be the appearance of pronunciation, which is the baby imitating and can also be seen as the baby's speech expression. Parents play a crucial role in the process of their baby speaking. Although babies cannot speak, parents should talk to them more, which helps with their language development.
