When does ur baby speak his first word

Hi mummies. My bb just came back from his 1yr devepopment check at polyclinic. Doc asked if he has spoke his first word e.g. papa or mama specifically to us. We said no but he babbles & understands. Doc says usually first word at 12 mth. Feeling worried now. I read that boys are more likely to start speaking a little later than girls . May i know to all the boys mummies, when does ur bb said their first word meaningfully? (Not babbling)

My boy only spoke his first words at like 15 months and ever since he hasn’t stopped. He speaks the moment he is awake until he falls asleep. Literally non-stop. Just have to keep encouraging them to talk and speak more to them. Going to PG helps too with them learning to speak in my boy’s case.
