At what age do children usually produce their first words?

Most children start producing their first words around 12 months of age.

However, it's important to remember that every child develops at their own pace. Some children may start talking earlier, while others may be a bit later.

Here's a general timeline:

* 4-6 months: Babbling and cooing

* 7-12 months: Understanding simple words

* 12-18 months: First words (usually single words)

* 18-24 months: Two-word phrases

* 2-3 years: Simple sentences

If you're concerned about your child's speech development, it's always best to talk to your pediatrician. They can assess your child's progress and provide guidance if needed.
