I wouldn't worry!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1369027 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 23:50:59 +0000 Kimberlybee 1369027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: @swedishfish: My 8 month old is the opposite, she says mama, mum mum, mum mum ahhhhh, all sorts of M noises but no dada. I think it hurts my DH's feelings. LOL So I work with her every chance I get but she still doesn't say it. So I ended up saying BaBa which is dad in Vietnamese (and Chinese too) and she does say Ba Ba but no dada. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368947 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 23:13:53 +0000 Beehive 1368947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were all about the dada for a long time here. I think he only really started saying mama around 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368934 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 23:11:05 +0000 birdofafeather 1368934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she's gone back and forth, but mostly babbles baba and yaya. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368902 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 22:50:22 +0000 lemondrop 1368902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until at least a year old for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368897 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 22:49:10 +0000 Ginabean3 1368897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 11 months and just started saying "mamamamamamama" like a month ago...but it's definitely babbling and not like, "hey, mama, I want you". Not sure if she knows the connection between "mama" and me yet. Although the other day DH looked at her and said "dada" and she looked right back at him and said "mama"....lol</p> <p>I wouldn't worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368890 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 22:47:29 +0000 googly-eyes 1368890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd didn't consistently say "mama" til after a year!! It was all about dada! She even said "duck" often before she said "mama." But it was worth the wait! It will happen, don't worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368877 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 22:39:56 +0000 dolphin 1368877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13 months and no mama. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368865 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 22:33:33 +0000 bisous 1368865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is almost 8 mos.

Then he just started calling me 'mom' and only ever calls me mom. I have no clue what at what age though but it was definitely well later than 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368765 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 21:49:33 +0000 Lindsay05 1368765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19 months and just started to somewhat say mama.

I feel better that R doesn't seem to be behind verbally. This Early Intervention evaluation has got me overanalyzing every perceived developmental delay. I promise I'll be better once Monday's here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368686 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 21:09:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 1368686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: This is C too-- I'm not sure I'd call it babbling since she mostly does it when she is whining and crying, but she does make very clear mama sounds. But not happy mama babbling. </p> <p>But I take it as when she is crying, she wants me, therefore she's calling me. Right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368680 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 21:07:21 +0000 SeptMomma12 1368680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO didn't say mama until 15 months.

Babbling 'mama' or 'dada' at 7 months is pretty early. A child not doing it is really normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368542 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 20:37:21 +0000 Ra 1368542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: @Pepper: I have started planning his party, booked his photo shoot, and started an amazon wish list for gifts. </p> <p>*Hangs head in shame*</p> <p>ETA: Gifts that we plan to buy, not a birthday registry or anything silly like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368537 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 20:35:19 +0000 Pepper 1368537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Hahaha us too!

Been waiting a long time! He was babbling all sorts of other stuff and started saying more a couple months ago so it didn't worry me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368519 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 20:32:49 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1368519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I heard my first mama at nine months. She was specific with it, but would only use it if she was hurt or was mad. Dada got a lot more play for a long time. Mama didn't come regularly (or happily) until she was eleven months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368511 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 20:28:55 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1368511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 8 months and no mama over here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-7-month-old-not-babbling-mama#post-1368508 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 20:28:20 +0000 Adira 1368508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander's almost 11 months and he only JUST barely started to say "ma ma ma ma".
