what age should baby start talking
By the end of 12 months, your child should master a few words including âmamaâ and âdadaâ, understand the meaning of ânoâ and simple instructions such as âGive me your handâ. The babbling will start making sense as your child will begin imitating your language. He or she should also respond to sounds by eye contact and turning his or her head in the direction of sounds. By the end of 18 months, your child will continue to learn new words. However, do not expect too much though. Most children say up to 10 words by the age of 18 months although they understand the meaning of much more words and will point to a familiar object or person when named.
