Babbling doesn't always correlate with how much they talk as older children. Yet, you should just always be prepared for those Who? What? When? Where? Why? questions! Parenting magazine has a really good article on this very question about children's questions in the most recent edition. I would check it out for yourself : ) Children at around 2 - 3 seem to like asking "What's that?" even though they already know. From 3 1/2 to 5 your child will be ever so fond of the "Why's?" They are just trying to get to know their world

I would just say be thankful he's saying anything! I have a friend who's little boy (nearly 3) doesn't hardly speak at all, there's nothing wrong with him but I'd certainly rather have a child that asks why all the time than one that doesn't hardly speak! Enjoy! And get preparing those answers! I always find "because Y's not Z and butter's not bread" works quite well!

He may at this age be trying to determine his spatial relations; ie: to you, other people in a room, other objects in a room. His spatial relations may not be fully developed. His constant babble is searching for your response so that he can "locate" you; how far or close you are to him; where he is in a space, large or small, in relation to people, etc. This is a right brained function and it may not be fully developed yet. He is using his own sort of "echo-location". This is my guess only because this is the same way my daughter was at that age. She still is always talking. You'll get used to it, but will very much enjoy bed time.

No its doubtful but why, why, why, is a GREAT thing. It means they are curious and smart! Good luck. My 18 month old girl is still babbling and I worry if she's going to talk at all! She only says a few words.

It doesn't really relate to the babbling. My oldest was pretty quiet as a young child, spoke really well form sentences, etc.
He's a week shy of 6 and now he NEVER STOPS TALKING.
I actually told him this week children should be seen and not heard! I've become my mother!

The more he asks, the more he'll learn. They ask questions a lot just to hear you talk, not necessarily for the facts of the answer. If you read and talk to him a lot he will be less prone to the constant questions. "why" is a lot better than the "no" stage.

Most kids at some point are 'why, why, why' kids. Mother of 4 speaking. It's a good thing, you can't learn if you don't ask!

My son CONSTANTLY asks, why, what's that, who's that. It is their way of learning about the world around them, but sometimes we wish that there was a switch that we could turn off...lol.
