Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your baby will use sounds (other than crying) to get your attention and express feelings. Babies this age begin to experiment with the sounds they can make with their mouths. Make no mistake, these are your baby’s early attempts at speaking and should be encouraged as much as possible.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your baby will turn to you when you speak, and they might even respond to their name or another sound, like a bell ringing. Your baby is showing more emotion – blowing ‘raspberries’, squealing, making sounds like ‘ah-goo’ and even trying to copy the up-and-down tone you use when you talk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Babbling and baby jargon – This is the use of repeated syllables over and over like “bababa, ” but without specific meaning. It usually occurs between 6 and 9 months.
