Baby's first sounds are usually cooing sounds of pleasure. These sounds develop into babbles where you will hear a variety of speech sounds including "p, b, m" at approximately 4 to 6 months of age. Babbling is then molded into "true words" where you may hear various sounds including "t, d, p, m, b, k, g, s." Talk to your baby, and imitate his sounds. You are your baby's BEST speech model, and talking with your baby is the best way to encourage language.
