According to Baby Center, babies tend to make sounds in the first month or two after they are born.

However, they tend to only begin forming proper words after around six months. 

The parenting website adds that babies typically begin to form two to four-word sentences between 18 months and two years of age. 

Parents Magazine reports that there are some techniques that can be used to encourage your child’s first words, including simply engaging in conversations with them, and pausing after saying a word so they have time to process the word.
