Question about baby talk

ASTARNICH · February 2013

I know all kids are created different, but I was wandering when do babies usually start making noise? My LO is 2 months old and doesn't make much noise at all unless she is crying about something. She moves her mouth alot and plays with her tongue alot but nothing comes out. Is there something I should be doing to help her? Is this pretty normal?

When my little man makes his coo'ing noises (he is 5 weeks) I imitate them back to him, and make other noises like vowel sounds, with really exaggerated faces. Sometimes it looks like he is trying to copy me back, but it might be coincidence also lol. I dont know if it helps him at all, but its a way for me to interact with him.

That really depends on the child. I think DS 1 started around 5 or 6 weeks. His brother DS2 still hasn't said much and they are 11 weeks old. I do make the similar sounds back to them. I actually say "baba" for bottle and stuff like we did with DD. I don't expect them to pick it up anytime soon but its a way for me to talk to them.

Babycenter says:

He'll begin by using his tongue, lips, palate, and any emerging teeth to make sounds (cries at first, then "ooh's" and "ahh's" in the first month or two, and babbling shortly thereafter). Soon those sounds will become real words ? "mama" and "dada" may slip out and bring tears to your eyes as early as 6 months.

Around 5 weeks, DD started smiling and making "goo" and "a-goo" sounds when she is happy.
