Babbling refers to the stage in learning a language when a baby creates and experiments with sounds without producing recognisable words. This begins with simple babbling at around the age of 6 months where the baby repeats syllables using single consonants and vowel sounds, e.g. “ma-ma”, “da-da”, “ba-ba” etc. At around 8 – 9 months, they progress to variegated babbling which is the use of more complex sound patterns in a range of syllables using several consonant and vowel sounds, e.g. “dagoo”, “nada”, “badadoo” etc.
