“When do babies start talking?” is a general question in the minds of the people who recently became parents. No doubt, it is essential to know when to expect to hear your baby’s first words.

When do babies start talking? Well, let’s try to answer this:- 

1. Babies start to babble and coo, have fun with sounds before they talk in any language. The non-verbal talking of the babies begins soon after their birth.

2. Babies cry, grimace, and squirm to express their physical needs and emotions, varying from time to time. It is the parent’s job to interpret it correctly and act accordingly.

3. When a baby is three months old, it listens to the parent’s voices or other people around, turns towards any sound, and starts to watch faces. Babies usually prefer a female’s voice as compared to a male’s. Finally, at the end of the third month, the baby initiates “cooing”.
