Communication and Your 8- to 12-month-old

During these months, your baby might say "mama" or "dada" for the first time, and she will communicate using body language, like nodding and shaking her head. She'll pay even more attention to your words and will try very hard to imitate you - so be careful what you say!

How Does My Baby Communicate?
Your baby will be testing her verbal skills as she prepares for her big speaking debut. She will be making more and more recognizable sounds, such as "ga," "ba," and "da." She may even stumble onto a real word like "mama," and she'll be thrilled at your excitement.

Your baby will begin to express her likes and dislikes with body language, nodding in agreement or wrinkling her nose with displeasure. She'll begin to communicate what she wants by pointing, crawling, and gesturing. You'll know that your baby understands what you say to her when you ask: "Where's Daddy?" and she looks his way, or you say: "Go find the blue ball," and she crawls right to it. She should already respond well to her own name, and she should look up (and at least pause) when you firmly say, "NO!"

By the end of her first year, your baby should be responding well to simple requests from you ("Wave bye-bye") and should be making some valiant babbling attempts at real conversation.

What Should I Do?
Continue talking to your baby using names as well as repetitive word games, like "This little piggy." Ask her: "What's that?" and pause before you provide the answer. Soon your baby will be pointing and saying, "Bah?" (for example), as though she were asking a question.

Labeling simple objects during the course of the day reinforces the message that everything has its own name. From her milk in the morning to her teddy bear at night, she is learning what familiar objects are called and storing this information away, just waiting for the day when she can form the words herself.

Make learning a whole body experience: touch her toe when you say the word "toe." Or point out your own ear and say, "Mommy's (or Daddy's) ear." Face your baby when you speak to let her see your facial expression and lip movements.

Be musical and sing to your baby to encourage language learning. By listening to the words, she will learn to recognize and repeat them. Throw in hand gestures and vary the style and tempo of the music to keep your baby's attention. She will also respond to rhymes, which show her how playful language can be.

Read to your baby from large, colorful picture books, and encourage her to turn the pages. Give her a chance to "read," and allow time for her to "answer" your questions.

Should I Be Concerned?
Some children master motor skills earlier and easier than language skills. Very active kids may decide to concentrate on language after they've mastered walking. Both activities are not likely to happen at the same time.

If your baby seems to be a late talker, this isn't necessarily a cause for concern, although he or she should say at least one word by 12-15 months of age. Your baby should also learn to use gestures such as waving and should point to objects or pictures.

On the other hand, if your baby doesn't seem to be able to respond to the sound of his or her name being called or doesn't look around at loud noises, talk to your child's doctor.
