When does the baby babbling start?
My son is 8 months old, he is my youngest of 4 and hasn't started babbling yet. I don't want to compare, but I know the older 3 started saying "mama" "dada",etc. around 6-9 months. He screeches, and does raspberries, but no real words/sounds. Except when he is crying with his hands in his mouth in his crib. You might get a mama out of it because he's chewing. I'm not really concerned because he crawls, sits, eats finger foods, etc. But I can't wait to hear his little voice. Any input?
He responds to the word "no" and turns his head when we say his name, so I'm almost positive that his hearing is okay.

Some babies just make noise until up to a year, others begin babbling or even talking at 6 months. My son is 8 months and can say 5 words, but my brothers child was almost a year old before she even said mama. Every baby is different.

I don't want to put any unneccesary worry into your head, but I would have his hearing checked if you have not already. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with your son, but if it worries you that he is not making actual word type sounds, that would be the first things that I would do. And like you said, I wouldn't compare with your other children....All kiddos are different.
