What was your child's first word?

[Luluissleeping]

Apart from Dadda, Mumma, etc, my ds first word was "door." Well, " doooor" elongated, repeated many times as two or three syllables and intonation, like "dorwerwer."

Moon. I always read Goodnight Moon and his first word was asking for the book

Murder! I think maybe it was an attempt at Mama or Dada and came out as a mash-up of both.😁

My first word was light.

Oh and also “cumbumber” for cucumber…. Always interesting to hear her shout that sat in the trolley round Tesco…

Dd1 nana
Ds1 dada
DS2 mummummum

DS was tractor, or actually twack….twooooor, he loved vehicles.

Like a few others on this thread, dd's first word was duck. Before any attempt at mummy, daddy etc. She was 9 months old.

She had a couple of favourite books which were focused on ducks, but she said the word when we were on holiday and she saw some ducks outside the window. She was beyond excited to see them, and just kept saying the word over and over while pointing very urgently at the ducks - I've always assumed that her mind was completely blown by having made the connection between these real life creatures and the pictures in her favourite books, and she just had to tell everyone.

DD1&2 were fairly normal with their first words, mama and no respectively. DS was a bit more unorthodox, going for tree and then teeth, followed by only signing alongside those two words for months, before saying beebee for his penis. Finally after learning to say three words, and to sign a good 10-15, he finally started saying mama, baba and jiejie (older sister).

Ds Buddha! Which we thought was brilliantly mystical
Dd Gleee! Which I thought was derived from cuddle
