Listening the first word from your baby is a great feeling. Isn't it and when the word is "mama"? Your joy knows no bound, but l must say the first word my son said was "daddy"! Generally babies utter their first words at 11 to 14 months, when the tongue and lips gain dexterity and the brain starts to match up objects with names. Every child learns to speak with time but you as a parent can help them to talk from birth onwards. Critical milestones for a baby learning to talk happen in the first three years of life.

• Baby talk at 3 months: By the end of three months, babies begin "cooing" -- a happy, gentle, repetitive, sing-song vocalization. At three months, your baby listens to your voice, watches your face as you talk, and turns toward other voices and sounds.
• Baby talk at 6 months: At six months, your baby begins babbling with different sounds, "ba-ba" or "da-da." By the end of the sixth or seventh month, babies respond to their own names, recognize their native language.
