How early did your baby say their first word?

Hello everyone,

I am a new parent and have been eagerly awaiting my baby’s first words. I have read that babies can start talking at different ages, but I am curious about your personal experiences. How early did your little one say their first word? Were there any signs leading up to it? Any tips on encouraging early speech?

Most babies around the world typically say their first word between 11-13 months. By 14 months, they usually show significant improvements in understanding speech.
