baby language development

My little one is now 11 months old, and I'm curious about what's considered normal for language skills at this age. I've noticed that my baby babbles a lot and seems to be trying to mimic some sounds, but they don't have any real words yet. Is this typical for an 11-month-old? When did your babies start saying their first words, and what were they?

Yes, it's totally normal for your baby to be babbling a lot and trying to mimic sounds at 11 months old. Every baby develops at their own pace, but generally, most babies start saying their first words around 12-15 months. Some babies might say their first word as early as 9 or 10 months, while others might take a little longer. To encourage your baby's language development, you can try talking to them as much as possible, reading to them, and pointing out different objects and naming them. You can also try repeating simple words like "mama" or "dada" and encouraging them to imitate you. Remember, every baby is unique, so try not to worry too much if your little one isn't saying real words just yet. When my children were around 11 months old, they were babbling a lot as well, but they didn't start saying their first words until closer to 14 months. Their first words were usually simple things like "ball," "dog," or "bye-bye." Just keep talking to your baby, and before you know it, they'll be chatting up a storm! https://invl.io/cll6she

Yes and yes ure on the right track! Usually but not every child can do this around this age babble mama/baba/dada. Sounds promising right?! Mine is 15months and sooooo close to enunciating common words like stop/that/makan/hello all pelat. I felt that its abit slow but to be fair when i was a kid i only spoke one or two words way after 2 years of age so 🤷🏻‍♀️Now i just wont shut up. As an educator i sometimes use this as a reference https://raisingchildren.net.au/babies/development/language-development/language-3-12-months This for extension https://www.naeyc.org/our-work/families/support-language-development-infants-and-toddlers This for local reference https://www.kkh.com.sg/patient-care/areas-of-care/childrens-services/Documents/DCD-Language-Milestones.pdf Cheers!
