Babies come into the world with a prodigious ability to learn to speak their own language. As a child grows he learns everything about the world around him. Some things he learns because we teach them and others, such as walking, he learns by instinct or intuition.

Not all children start walking at the same age and not all children start talking at the same time, so in principle, we should not be obsessed with the moment when our baby starts talking. The first words are usually mom and dad and after these two come all the others.

First words to teach your infant

Mostly, children learn to talk during their first two years of life. Your baby will start using his tongue, lips, palate, and teeth that come out to make sounds. And very soon those sounds become real words.

From that moment your baby will learn more words from you, from your partner and from anyone who is in contact with him. And between the first and second year, will begin to form sentences of two or three words.

Boys and Girls

The boys and girls often surround them in their day to day life, that is why these words are the most used by the little ones.

Speaking will be much more fun for your child when it becomes a game. When you are in any place, try to play to discover things.  Point out all kinds of objects and ask your child to say the correct name.

Speaking is directly linked to listening. By listening to others talk, your baby learns how words sound and how phrases are structured. So always be aware that your baby is in good surrounding and away from bad environment and words. Because once he learns something bad from someone, it becomes hard to get rid of it and also it becomes a matter of embarrassment in from of everyone.
