Re:Did My Four Month Old Really Say Mama?
Yes, she was really saying it. But, unfortunately, she wasn’t referring to you. Between four and six months, babies begin to add consonant sounds to the vowel sounds they’ve been cooing for a little while. This when “mama” and “dada” make their first appearances. Along with “baba” and “yaya” too. This is just vocalization while your baby learns to use her mouth, tongue, lungs and vocal chords. It won’t be until closer to age one when she realizes that “mama” is actually you!
