BellyBelly is dedicated to providing new parents and families with in-depth information on early family life. The site provides access to evidence-based pregnancy, birth and baby information.

Popular content pieces include high chair guides, when to give babies cooked rice, and pregnancy symptoms week by week. Now the site has launched its new guide to baby and toddler language development.

The guide explains that a baby’s first word is one of the most impactful moments in their life. Babies develop at different stages, and parents often wonder when their children will start talking.

Readers will learn that most babies say their first words between 11 and 14 months. While popular first words include “mama” and “dada”, the first word can be anything that they have heard often enough.

Research shows that by their second birthday, children may know 200 words. When they reach three years old, children will be able to have more advanced conversations.

The guide states: “To learn to talk, your baby’s brain must be able to match objects with their names. Some babies say their first words long before their first birthday, but others take longer to develop control of their tongue and lips, although they can still understand what you are saying.”

There are some techniques and tactics that parents can use to encourage speech in their children. BellyBelly details nine tips to encourage language development.

These include communicating early, talking frequently, reading books, singing, listening, elaborating, and taking turns. Some important things to avoid when a baby is learning to talk are background noise, screen time, and correction of mistakes.

Parents who are worried about their child’s language development are encouraged to get in touch with their healthcare provider.
