Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Baby development at 11-12 months: what’s happening Your baby is now communicating in many ways – pointing, grunting, nodding, waving and often trying to talk to you too. Your baby’s babbling sounds more like a conversation, and they might say 1-2 single words they understand, like ‘dada’ and ‘mama’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Baby development at 10-11 months: what’s happening. Your baby is very interested in conversations. You’ll often hear baby’s first word around this age. Baby is still mainly babbling but might try out 1-2 words they understand, especially ‘dada’ or ‘mama’.

Detailed explanation-3: -The age at which kids begin talking typically ranges from 6 to 18 months. In general, there is no need to worry if your toddler isn’t talking and seems “behind"-even if they are at the older end of that range. Of course, if your child is 19 months and still not talking, you may be concerned, but this too can be normal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Teach them about words that go together – for example, you could show them a ball, teddy and a rattle and then say the word ‘toy’. Start using sounds with meaning (symbolic sounds), like saying “whoops” or “uh-oh” when you drop something accidentally, or saying “meow” while showing them a picture of a cat.
