Around what age does babies start to talk?

Answer 1

typically between 9 to 18 months, but it depends on individual baby. Let them take their time, but suggest pro advice if its > 24 months

Answer 2

Some babies will be walking independently by the time they have their first birthday, others will need to support themselves by holding onto furniture or your hands as they move about. Many babies of this age will stand unassisted, but are not quite ready to take steps. By 15-16 months, most babies are walking on their own. Falling down is common, but most babies aren't too troubled by this - they simply get back up and keep going. For talking babies start to babbles around four months by the time they are 18-24 months they learn words at a rate of 10 words a day. My son, Gallagher started walking at 1 year 1 month. My other son, Lukas started 1 year 3 months.

Answer 3

My children all babbled before a year. You know mama, dada..
However, the age experts say children actually "speak" and use the language is between 2-3 years. Usually around 30 months. Now after saying that, I will tell you that my 2nd child at 15 months had a vocabulary that contained more words than most children Kindergarten age. He was using sentences with 6-8 words. I think all children are different, but if a child does not speak around 2 I would get worried. Some children won't talk in public, but talk lots at home. Ask your pediatritian if you are concerned.

Answer 4

All depends and some are slower to talk than others. One of my children started trying to imitate sounds at 3 months. He grew up to be very bright. Another one did not talk until 2 years and he is an electrical engineer. He was my 5th and I anticipated everything he needed so he had no reason to talk. He also did not walk until he was 14 months old. If your child is not taking by 2 ask tell your pediatrician. My other 4 children fell some where in between. Of those one is a teacher, two are nurses and one is career navy. All bright people.

Answer 5

It all depends on how early you start talking to the baby. I found that out with my first child, I spoke to her right after birth,it sounds silly, I know, but I talked to her, and she started talking before 1 and a half!! She is 8 now, and will NOT stop talking, and has the intelligence of a 11 or 12 year old!Try it out you will see what I mean.

Answer 7

What ever you do, please don't compare your child to any other child. They talk when they're ready. Some start really earlier like 9 months, where they actually know what they are saying,(saying da da is not talking all babies start that way, they are just making sounds) some not until 3 years. It is not a measure of intelligence. One of my sons did not talk until almost 3 years old and yet he had the least amount of trouble in school.

Answer 8

It depends on the child. My daughter was saying "mama" and "bye bye" at 7 months, and now at age 2 she is speaking in complete sentences. But there are some children her age who don't speak at all, other than a few words here and there. But they're smart kids, they're simply slower to speak than my daughter.

It also really depends on how you define "talking." Is that when they can hold a conversation? Say a word like mama? The source I posted has a great list of what is within the realm of normal for speech development.

Answer 9

It varies. Some babies start early at around 11 months and others as late as three. My almost two-year-old daugther can only utter a few one-syllable word. In a few months, l know she'll be as talkative as my other daugther.

Answer 10

Talk, as in actually understanding the meaning of words/sounds that are coming out of their mouth? Anywhere from 10 mths and up (10 mths is pretty young though). If by 18 months your child doesn't have ANY words, then you should look into early intervention speech therapy. It's probably just delayed speech because he/she is busy concentrating on something else but since in most states early intervention is free, it can't hurt.

Answer 11

depends on baby's development. Some baby's start around 5 month old. YOu can't compare babies to other babies. They just evolve. All you can do is be with them and talk to them and sing with them and read them story. They'll catch up.
