Babies talk around 8-24 months, but each baby is different and therefore speaks at different times. Babies at 8 months can simply make some ba and ma sounds. But not fully able to speak. Generally around 2 years old can say simple language such as mommy hold, eat rice, etc. The baby’s speaking time is not only related to environmental factors and family factors, but also may be affected by diseases, such as the baby has congenital hypothyroidism or abnormal hearing development, etc., which may affect the baby’s speaking time. If your baby’s speech level is significantly behind that of babies of the same age, for example, if your baby cannot unconsciously make ba and ma sounds at 10 months, or if your baby cannot consciously call mom and dad at 14 months, you need to go to the Child Health Unit for timely consultation, and follow the doctor’s instructions to identify the cause of the disease and then provide targeted intervention.
