Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -At about two months, your infant may begin cooing and repeating some vowel sounds (ah-ah-ah, ooh-ooh-ooh).

Detailed explanation-2: -Apart from crying, cooing is the first vocal milestone your baby will reach. Cooing is typically a vowel sound, like ahh, but sometimes cooing can sound like gurgling noises. It’s absolutely adorable, but it’s also really important: It signifies baby is starting to work on language development.

Detailed explanation-3: -At what ages does babbling occur? Your baby will start making sounds the minute they’re born, but true speech development in babies doesn’t start until around 4 months old. They’ll babble almost exclusively until about 12 months of age, when their grasp of communication really ramps up.

Detailed explanation-4: -From birth, your baby will make a range of noises which will mean something to you – for example, that they are hungry or in pain. These noises include crying, coughing and sounds made while breathing. During feeding, your baby will also make sucking, burping and quiet low-pitched contented sounds.
