Language development in ten-month-old babies varies according to family circumstances and genetic factors. Babies communicate well with the adults around them. Some begin to say a few words at ten months.

If more than one language is naturally spoken in the family, babies may begin at this stage to distinguish between the languages and say an occasional word in each. Do not hide these languages for fear of confusing the baby; speak each language naturally.

A ten-month-old baby can usually say individual words such as baba, mamma, dede and memme. Our goal for a one-year-old child is three words. At ten months, a baby may say one or perhaps two words. This depends on the baby's genetic makeup and family circumstances. The environmental and social setting is the most important factor in language development that we can influence.
