He will apparently say mama when I am not around but I have only heard it a few times. I talk to him all day show him things try to teach him things but he always is just babbling and can’t seem to make out words, anyone else experienced this?

I wouldn't be too worried about it he will catch on eventually. Every child develops at their own rate

This is our son too . He only says mama and Dada and not even the right way all the time. Other than that, he babbles a lot, but i have no idea what he is saying

My 14m is the same way..she yells, whispers and screams dada. I’ve heard her say mama a hand full of times. But “da” is one of the most basic sound anyone can make because it just requires you to move your tongue. It’s totally normal and the fact that he does it constantly is a good sign of speech development ☺️
( even though i really wish i could hear mama just as much 😭)

My 13.5 month old babbles all day but can only recognize mama dada and baba. He’s also not walking independently. He can stand and cruise but no independent walking yet 🙃

My girl is 14m and while she "says" lots of things that mostly something only those of us constantly around her can figure out. Try mirroring what you thing he's saying and carry on the conversation. When we get it right you instantly know. Her whole face lights up. Nor sure any one else could tell she is saying I love you but when we repeat it her smile confirms we got it right. The you can say it back correctly so the can learn proper pronunciation but don't force it. It will come.

My almost 14 month old is favoring the words hi and Dada. My husband made a great point though. I am usually home with her while he is at work. When I'm not home she does say Mama to him. My mother who also watches her notices she will say Mama when she is really sad and I have caught it a few times when she is in her crib.
