When Should My Baby Start Babbling? What’s Normal + What to Do


Listen Later

Babbling is one of the most exciting early milestones—and one that often leaves parents with questions (and worries!). In today’s episode, we’re talking all things babbling:

  • When should it start?
  • What should it sound like?
  • What if your baby isn’t doing it yet?
  • And most importantly—how can YOU encourage it in everyday routines?

I’ll walk you through the difference between canonical and variegated babbling (in mom-friendly terms), why this stage matters so much for speech development, and what simple, realistic things you can do starting today to boost those pre-language skills.

And if your baby is a little behind—don’t panic. I’ll explain the signs to watch for, when to check in with a professional, and how early intervention can make all the difference.

Whether you’re a first-time mom or a seasoned parent wondering if your baby is on track, this episode will bring clarity and confidence. 💛
