Da Da was my little girl's first word and she said it all the way up until a year. My pediatrician told me that it's not a sign of favoritism....D's are a just much easier to get out than M's for Ma Ma. Now, at 20 months, all that she says is "Mama", "Elmo" and "Ernie".....OK, she says other things, but these three are the most popular!

I doubt they will say either mom or dad. It will be more of mama or dada. But my son says mamamamamamama and babababababa all the time and has since he was about 6 months. Not sure he really knows what he is saying though!

It's easier for a baby to pronounce the "D" sound. So in most cases a baby will say da-da before Ma-ma.
It doesn't mean anything really. It is just the baby using his/her voice. They don't know who da-da is yet. They know the man who takes care of him/her but not what he really is, if that makes any sense at all.

It's generally da da because it's the easiest to say. Ma ma is a little more difficult and requires more work. Mom to 3, aunt to 12.

My sister and I said dada first. My brother said mama. My daughter said dada first. My sister went to college for speech pathology and she told me most babies say dada first because it's easier for them to say.

my daughter said da da first. but, there was no daddy present in her life, so i knew that there was no meaning to the word. i knew it was just baby gibberish. after saying "da" and "ba". she was saying mama when she would cry for me. if she was crying, you could hear her cray ma ma. it was cute. and ever since then, she never said "dada" again.

She said mama first. I wanted her to say dada for him, but she is definately a daddy's girl now
