  • Don't worry about it. The MommymommyMOMMYmommyMOMMYmommyMOMMEEEEEEEEE! will start soon enough. Since you're always there, you are the person who doesn't need a name yet. It'll happen.

  • It's they way the sounds are made. It will take time, but it's harder to get the "m" sound right than the "d". Just keep trying.

  • LOL My son is the same age! He USED to say mama, but is all about saying words with the D and B sounds (dada, dog, bye bye). Don't worry - I'm sure your LO will be calling you shortly!
