that's all my 10 month old is saying too so we'll worry together.lol my oldest started talking at 1 and he hasn't stopped since. LOL I think there's no need to worry just yet.

No worries.  I have a 11 month old and she speaks DADA too, most of the time.  She barely speaks MAMA.  Only when she is hungry, she will say MAMA.  He is very good at this age.  He will gradually pick up words from you and the people around him.  Every baby is different, so please do not compare him with other babies.  I agree with all the Mom`s here.

Enjoy your little munchkin.  Have fun.

I would have to agree with the other, he's normal....:) He is 14 months now.

Our son says mamama, and dadada, and uhoh....That's it. He has been evlauatied fo rEarly Intervention for medical issues unrelated to that (he doens't eat he is tube fed due to really SEVERE reflux) they told us he was normal. He uses those 3 words in context though.

They were concern that he does, know an object is there when it is cover, that is called object permanance and that he could mimick some thing that we did. Like, feeding something, placing a spoon in a cup when shown, respiond to his name when called. All these things show that speech will come we were told.

Hi honey,

Your bub is very very normal, if anything a little advanced! ! ! Enjoy your bubs words while you still can as 'trust me" there will come a day when you will pray for peace and quiet.

Cheers Kellz

As the saying goes, we spend the first 3 years getting our kids to walk and talk, and the next 20 trying to get them to sit down and shut up!! LOL

It is normal and as others have said if bub is not talking by 2, then get them seen to.

Hi
Be grateful that this is all your baby says at the moment
My 16yr old said nothing but dad until 10 months
At 10 months she said mum
Everyone was telling me this is not normal and i should get her checked I ignored them and said she will talk when she is ready
She started talking by 2 and for the next 14 years she has not shut up even when asleep
Enjoy the peace while it lasts cause once bub starts that is is....aarrgghhhh
She still wont shut up no matter what
If hes not talking by 2-3 then start worrying
As you say he understands be happy and enjoy your bub
Luv Deb

Yes, it is normal for a baby this age to not really say words.  He has the basics and that's ok.  I'm guessing that maybe he is  progressing quicker in other areas of developement or that he doesn't spend a lot of time with slightly older to a few years older children.  The first is always the slowest.

my kids mummbled mumma and dadda at that age but didnt talk til about 18 months.
you have to remember that each child is different and they dont all do the same things at the same time. my son and my cousin are 7 weeks apart and B has always done thing heaps before my son yet my daughter is 6 weeks younger than my nephew S and is way in front of him.

I personally wouldnt be worried

My son is nearly 10 months and he only says something that sounds like Dada, and I'm not even sure it is in context yet!  So i think at this stage it is quite normal.  my others two children were 13 and 12 months respectively before they said their first word.....so i wouldn't worry.

Cheers Julie.

im no expert in child development speech patterns therefore i cannot say if this is 'normal or not'

my 10 month old says something like mama and dada and the rest well he only knows......i talk to him quite abit he mostly goos and ga at me sometimes throwing the occassional mama or dada at me.  however sometimes he just stares and smiles .....what do i make out of this? nothing as hes only 10 months

he might be refusing to talk but i bet you hes listening to every you say .................every child develops differently

as i said im no expert in this field but rather then teaching him words why dont you talk freely to him as if he is an adult on a regular basis....just chat away even when changing his nappy ....................
