Language Development Stages in Babies

The foundations of speech and language are laid in babies in the first 12 months, and from the moment they are born, they are open to learning against the stimuli around them. The sounds they hear, the music they listen to, and the speech they hear are all factors that support language development in babies.

In this article, we talked about language development in babies month by month. It’s time to learn all the milestones related to your baby’s speech and language development!
