The talking baby

[blunomore]

When did your child start talking ?

Mine (14 months) can only say baba, mamma, pappa, dada (dad gets 2 x mentions!) and when I ask her to say her name (which is Olivia), I get "dladla"

At what age did you child start saying a fair number of words ?

14 months seems like a pretty reasonable age. She sounds quite healthy on her developmental milestones. I'm pretty woolly on the details of our boys, I'll get mrsc to comment later, she has all that stuff memorized.

Why the hell do women insist on saying "14 months". Your kid is a year old. There's this other "one" that said "my son is 36 months old".... 3 years... come now... stop being stoopid.

I'm not 385 months old

Treat them like adults, talk to them like adults, and they'll grow and learn faster. Talk to them like kids, treating them like kids, they'll act and talk like kids until they find out from their teachers and other fellow students that how they talk and act is STOOPID

Because at that age, 8% or so of your total lifespan thus far makes kinda a big difference. It's also important to track their development in case something's wrong that wasn't picked up earlier. The sooner you handle it, the better.

It's because the difference between a 2 year old and a 2 1/2 year old is significant. And at younger ages, months can cause dramatic changes in their development.

Educate yourself a bit and come back.

I can't remember at what age either of ours started "talking".

The youngest is now 26 months and talks properly - well at least for us as we know to substitute her "t's" with"c's" or "k's" (depending). She can't say the k sound yet

Tote = coke, tup = cup, tum here = come here

edit: oh, and don't talk "baby language" to them, they'll take a whole lot longer to start talking properly

AcidRazor is just being an idiot and why on earth would he want me to say my child is a year old when I specifically said she is 14 months. One year is NOT = 14 months !!!!!

Also, who the **** said I am not talking to my child like an adult????????? I am using proper words with their proper pronunciations.

My GF is studying to be an audiologist and apparently at a certain age it is good, for them to learn to have a conversation on their level, but obviously talking baby talk to a 3 year old is just strange

The only one being "stoopid" here is you, numbnuts. You have no clue.

my youngest is 31 months and she speaks perfectly (too much actually) if I can remember at about 26 months she spoke that way as well

My nephew just turned two (24 months!) and he can say lots of words - The names of the people around him, food items, just about anything with 4 wheels (obsessed, lol), but he's not quite at 'conversational' level yet.

One thing he does that astonishes me a little bit, is he is able to go through an alphabet book (in any order) and name all the letters.

Each child is different. Some children can use big words like delicious by 16months and then their sibling barely speaks mamma/dadda by 12 months....

My oldest boy started with words at 9 months by11 months he had quite a good vocab.My daughter at well over 24 months did not say one word (only sounds).Now, we still trying to stop her. My youngest boy has started at about 15 months.

I wouldn't worry about when they start talking. It's mostly a motor development thing. Can't remember the age ours started saying proper words, but he could understand fairly complex sentences long before and he did try to say words, but his muscle control wasn't there yet.

Does baby talk mean nonsense words or using a higher pitched sing-song voice? The latter is usually considered good as they appear to have an easier time decoding it. But nothing wrong with occasionally using silly words. Can lead to much laughter.

An angry blu? There's something you don't see everyday. Baby blues?

My daughter goes to an all black school. She started talking at a very young age (about 10 months) but I did not understand half of what she was saying, simply because I can't speak the languages she was talking.

My little one is almost 8 months, he randomly says Dada, sometimes all he repeats is dadadada, then some in gibberish and starts laughing his head off.

This man's baby age is 796 months, normal age 66 years old. He has never learned to speak properly and many would consider him a success.
