Guys I’m so sad. My 7 month old still has not tried to babble. No baba Gaga dada. Just start squealing and ahhh. He’s isn’t super chatty either 😩 I’m trying hard to encourage babble but I feel like he just stares at me and crack up laugh in my face 😂

My boy does the same hahahaha he’ll like kind of do a little babbling but it goes straight into screeching and or yelling 😂😂😂😂
mines don’t and I’m getting worried

I can see how that would make you sad. You’re not alone! ❤️

My lo will be 7 months tomorrow. She doesn’t babble nor does she belly laugh. She will laugh maybe once and that’s it. She also screams. Ear piercing screams.
ouch 😩

Does he seem like he can hear you guys when you talk and do things? Like if you clap or talk to him will he turn his head toward the sound?
yes , if I drop something, clap and he’s not super focus on anything. He will turn and look. He looks when I call his name, something I gotta call 4/5 times sometimes just once. But he usually looks smile and then re look at what he was looking at before.

Okay I was going to say you might want to go to pediatrician just to make sure he doesn’t have a developmental delay in his hearing, but if he’s responding to things, then he could just be not be a babbler, still if you’re worried or upset you could always just ask the pediatrician for some reassurance ❤️❤️
they look at me crazy Lml but my middle child is high functioning autistic so I be going crazy
I don’t read as much as I use to. But I talk to him all the time and he’s in a center daycare. They said they talk to him all the time as well.

My 6.5 month old isn’t babbling yet. There’s a range for each skill remember. I’ve looked it up and a lot of people on Reddit have said similar things at this age and said their baby didn’t start until around 8 months

I read to my baby every night, she is very vocal but doesn’t babble consistently. Doctor is not concerned until they’re 9 months and aren’t babbling. My daughter is almost 8 months old. Babies prioritize motor skills or cognitive skills. They can’t do both at the same time. Is your baby ahead of the game with things like sitting, grabbing toys, clapping, etc?
he’s sitting up mostly with no support now. I think he wants to learn how to crawl due to him trying to move around on my bed. Also I’m starting to see him kinda trying to climb or trying to get my leg strength to stand.
fingers crossed it’s stressing me out

My first daughter didn’t really start babbling (baba dada mama) until 8ish months, I was so worried and once she started she didn’t stop. She is now 3 and has super advanced speech.
Her cousin (a month younger) started babbling way before her which made me spiral even more and he had a little bit of a speech delay.
All this to say, it’s a range, try not to stress (I know it’s impossible) and keep an eye on it and talk to the doc w any concerns! Chances are it will come anyday 🤍

Yes! Exactly. They prioritize different things are they come! It’s tough learning and growing at this rate
Yea it stresses me out because of the fact that my middle child has ASD

My baby’s pediatrician wasn’t worried when I saw her last week and she said just keep reading to her and talking and it’ll happen

Hi there, any update on your baby’s babbling?
