'I'm a child expert - what your baby's first words mean and why it's always dada'
"The first is that babies will recognise their dad as a totally separate person, whereas, at least for the first few months, they'll feel as though they are still connected to mums," she explained.
"As mums carry the baby and then typically care for them as an infant, babies will see mums as part of them until they become more independent." Another reason is that, while babies are in their 'babbling' phase, words like baba and dada are simply easier to pronounce. But while there is some truth to this theory, Emily says first words won't always be 'mama' or 'dada'.
