My daughter only says mama. Every child develops in their own time.

My boy say things but not mama x

Mine doesn’t say anything yet, just babbles allllll day long! Non stop! But I am not worried because he has good communication skills ☺️

Yes that say as my boy xx

My little boy says Mama and Dada but only as a babble. He has no meaning to them so they're not technically 'words' yet. On the other hand, my friends daughter (same age) is saying 20 words already. I've been told not to worry, up to 15 months is still within the average

Our little one babbles most of the time. He says "mama/mam mam" and something like "nein nein nein", "agua" when he wants to drink water, "gagagaga".... But really nothing more. He is very communicative, so we don't worry about it. He'll speak more words sooner or later. Also, we speak 3 languages at home (English, German, Spanish), so we know that it's more difficult for him to catch up. However, he understands a lot of words in those 3 languages, like "Flugzeug/ airplane, Wasser/ water/ agua, his favourite fruits, in den Mund/ to the mouth, danke/ thank you, etc.
