Wondering when your baby will start talking? Here is everything you need to know about the different stages of baby talk, what to expect at 6 months, and the signs of speech delay.

Name and point out things you can both see, for example: "Look, a cat".

Start looking at books with your baby. You don't have to read the words on the page, just talk about what you can see.Play "peek-a-boo" and "round and round the garden".Believe it or not, but you're the expert when it comes to judging your youngster's speech patterns, and you'll know if there's something wrong.

But, if your baby isn't attempting to make any sounds, eye contact, or babbling between 6 and 9 months, it's advised to bring it up with a doctor. It could be that they have a speech delay or a hearing problem. If you've noticed that your child is stuttering, there is no need to worry, as this is completely normal while their speaking is quickly developing.

However, keep an eye on it. If it continues until they reach 4-years-old, or if you can see them tensing their jaw, talk to their doctor about it.

Alison Lapper's first interview following her son's death: 'All I ever wanted to do was love him'Alison Lapper’s son Parys was immortalised before his birth on Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth, and had his life charted for the TV documentary Child of Our Time. It’s desperately sad, I (and I’m sure many across the nation) felt we knew Alison and Parys through Child of Our Time; I always felt humbled by her ability to care for her son despite physical challenges. This Mum’s heart breaks for her and Parys. So sad. Drugs are a scourge on our society.
