7.5 months old not imitating sounds

2026-08-07 16:26:47
7.5 months old is doing babling army crawling sitting independently having separation anxiety but not imitating sound if we say mama or any other sound then baby won't repeat after us. Should I be concerned when sound imitation starts she will do gesture imitation like clapping tongue out banging etc but no sound imitation like mama dada baba

Wait and watch, its normal. Monosyllables can come in next 1-2 months. Just check hearing OAE once if not checked yet.

Hello If baby is having babbling, has eye contact, social smile, looking at his face in mirror smiling this is reassuring. Every mile stone can have a range of 1-2 months in all babies. Having face to face interaction, reading books will help.Bisyllables( mama,dada)will gradually develop during this time do spend much time with your baby.
