We kept saying mama and nana to Jay. Is it possible anyone else has been saying mommy to her? Or she hears another child say it?

I suppose it's possible. Tho she's only around a 4 month old all day, and just my niece or cousin at my house when I go to work.

They learn very quickly who their mommy and daddy are although daddy or dada comes before mama or mommy d are easier to say tham m's. They learn from what people call you in front of them what you call yourself what daddy calls you, wait one day out of the blue she will call you by your first name and then when you tell her no I am mommy she call you by your first name just to bug you. All three of mine did this. I Have 1 that has always called me MAMA and still does today even though her sisters call me mommy, mom she uses the others too but she learned to call me mama at 3months old and she was born 2 months early. My youngest starting the horrible NO word at 3 months and has never forgotten it.LOL
have fun enjoy your little girl and watch what you say as she will start repeating what you and daddy are saying even bad words if you need to swear speel it or words you do not want her to hear like bath time if she is not to keen on that or if you are leaving with dad spell bye or about a present my husband learn that one the hard way. My daughter 2 at the time was trying to put a picture she drew on the fridge and it kept falling all of a sound she throws the picture down and say F*&^ it and walks away. it was so funny we told it was wrong but she learned from her daddy so the first time we did not get to mad but she used the word in the right moment. She does not swear any more and neither does her daddy at least around them he doesn't

mandi, maybe since she went from dada to daddy she figured she should go from mama to mommy? though with that logic she probably would've called you mammy... i really don't know...



are you saying your baby started talking at 3 months old?...

i hate to be the bubble burster, but that's just not possible.

no I said she called me mama or very close to it. And yes she did!!!! the baby mother who is asking is only 4 months old do you have a problem with my daughter saying mama at 3 months? The only 2 words she said at that timewere dada and mama. I do not concider that talking rather saying 2 words talking to most people is 2 to 8 word sentences. Besisdes nothing is impossible, My 2 1/2 year talks in complete sentences, and has since just after christmas. Most likyely because I have been teaching speech and language in my home. since before my children were even born. Anyways I have no idea where she could have gotten mommy from if no one ever calls you that.

goodluck in finding out
I guess according to Bridgeheartsfin it is impossible for your baby at 4 months to be talking too.
since there is only 28 to 31 days older than 3 months

the mother who asked the question has a 15 or 16 month old (sorry mandi, i can't remember) and she says plenty of words.

and yes, it is impossible for a 3-4 month baby to be saying words.

Yeah, Adriana is 16 mos Bridget. I guess I should have put that in my original post. She talks off the wall, and repeats basically everything we ask her to. I thought she was early to start saying syllables, and she was 7 months old when she first started saying "da da" and she of course didn't know who that was, it's just a normal first syllable, as you said yourself it's easiest.

But I've never heard of a 3 or 4 month old saying any sort of syllables.

yeaaaaaah me either lol

Oh yeah, and there's been a few times where she called me by my first name. I don't think she was quite a year old the first time she did it. So now everyone is careful about using the M word around her
