babbling
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The babbling stage is the second stage in childhood speech development. During this stage, an infant starts experimenting with different sounds. Unlike the vowel sounds of infant coos, the babbling stage combines consonants with vowels. The babbling stage is more than just sounds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pre-linguistic stage Also known as the pre-linguistic stage, the first stage of language development often occurs between zero and six months. Children in this phase don’t have developed language skills, so they communicate with sounds. They cry, make cooing sounds and utter nasal murmurs as their vocal tracts develop.

Detailed explanation-3: -This babbling usually occurs between 4-6 months of age. During this period, the infants put together consonant-vowel or vowel-consonant sound combinations like “baa, ” “maaa, ” or “uuum.” Marginal babbling is also called pre-canonical vocalization.

Detailed explanation-4: -Months 0-2: Crying and cooing. Months 3-4: Simple speech sounds (goo). Month 5: Single-syllable speech sounds (ba, da, ma). Months 6-7: Reduplicated babbling – repeating the same syllable (ba-ba, na-na).

Detailed explanation-5: -Babbling is the term for the second stage of speech development after the newborn stage of crying.
