Most babies say their first word between 9 and 14 months of age, although some may start speaking earlier or later than this. Some babies may also begin babbling or making consonant sounds before they start speaking their first words.
It's important to remember that every baby is different and will develop at their own pace. Some babies may start speaking earlier if they are exposed to a lot of language and communication, while others may take longer if they have a hearing loss or other developmental delay.
If you have concerns about your baby's speech development, it's best to talk to your pediatrician for advice and support. They can evaluate your baby's speech and recommend any necessary interventions or therapies to help them reach their full potential.
