My Baby is nine months old and he doesn’t say mama or dada or bye-bye yet and my pediatrician expects him to learn that in three weeks when we go back what do I do he knows his name but won’t say mama or dada. Does anybody have any advice?

My baby just turned 9 months too and haven’t said it yet. The pediatrician recommended we read to him more and say words back to him. Honestly I believe it will happen eventually, just keep at it mama 🫶🏽

9 month olds aren’t supposed to be able to talk yet. They should start to make noises like mamamama, dadadada, babababa etc but no words

My baby rarely says mama only if really upset. Does say dada on occasion but we don’t use dada/dad/daddy in our home. (just picked it up as the next combo letters) We use Papa.
I honestly wouldn’t stress it. Just make sure you are talking to your baby a lot in normal words, no baby talk. Narrate the day and what you are doing. And read to baby.

My bbg says mamaaaa and dada she learn it when she was 7 months what worked best was repetition !! She just learn byyee 😂 and she can always clap so repetition works !!!

Stop vaccines

I think my boy was around 15 months when he said dadda (with intent) and 18 months for mama. He’s now 2 and mega chatty! 9 months is super early to be saying actual words.

My baby will be 9 months in 2 weeks. He is very vocal but doesn’t make any words. Just yelling lol. But nothing close to mama or dada yet. I didn’t realize this is supposed to happen at 9 months?

I’d rather my baby never say a word then die from the measles. I’m definitely pro vaccine.

Ur boy is so loved he doesn’t need to talk yet, yall just be already giving the little man what he needs 😘

lie to your pediatrician to alleviate stress 😂😩

I had a 3rd grade reading level in 5th grade. My mom thought I would never get smarter than 5th grade no pun intended. But I finished college and can read like a normal adult. Everyone grows at their own pace.
