What was your child's first word?

[twoandcooplease]

And how old were they?

I think DS (21mo) just said 'book' !! He was holding one at the time and I'm sure I heard him say it

Mums DSS first word was 'barbecue' 😂😂 he just toddled to the kitchen, said it and went away again. Apparently it sounded more like a deep burp 😂

Ball. Me. Yes. Now the yes girl says no and appears to have PDA😩 she's 16. Ball boy has little interest in balls. Balls were followed quickly by boobs and he misses those he says now he's 8. Me girl is 14 and typically egocentric. I wish my mum remembered my first word.

Tiger. Clear as anything. After refusing to so much as babble up to that day.

Cat ...

DS1 - "more"
DS2 - ive no idea.

Impossible to say, because they both babbled and tried hard to talk including gesturing etc, before it just transitioned into taking. So there wasn’t a demarcation of a day when they didn’t say anything followed by a day when they did.

Duck
(she was in the bath)

Giraffe

Caravan 🤣

No idea for either of them.

No. From both of them 😬

Cat
shoe
Dada (daddy)
(3 DC)

Both said mama at 6 months, then dada a few months later, then ‘no’, ‘more’ and things like ‘ball’ and ‘cat followed on!

Dada, then No, then Mama. About 10-12 months, can’t really remember when, but I remember the order.

Eldest was 'Tea', while handing me his cup. Next two both said 'dada' first, which is apparently the typical first word, then youngest's was 'nana', to my mum. Little traitors - not a 'mama' between them until about a month later (and lots of prompting).

Mum and ball

My mum is still miffed that my first word was dad 😂

Duck aged 11 months

DD1 said a vague Mum a few days after 1st birthday. Her twin sister said Car clearly at about 11 months.

"Dar" for star at 9 months old 😳 rest of her words continued from there but 90% as clear as day. Mummy & Daddy appeared very late at 14 months clearly couldn't be arsed until she could say them properly.

My youngest said her sisters name - Abi.

Can't remember the others

SNAAAAAAACK

Teddy at 10 months (eldest)
Mama at 12 months (youngest)

DS's first word was Cat. DD's first word was Alex, DS's name.

Dog

Uh oh

Juice and biscuit, at about 7 months old

Ball then book
