What is the definition or description of: baby babbles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Baby babbles: Hi, "baby babbles" are usually the nonspecific sounds that an infant makes. Generally, it starts around 4 months, with "cooing" and "gooing," when the infant is learning how to vocalize and communicate with others. This progresses on as they can articulate more sounds, then more specific sounds emerge (not babbling) i.e. "dada, mama, dat, baba" etc. Very cute, a very fun stage of infancy!!
