First Word is NOT Mama
Layla now says "Na na" as her first "word" and that's what we call my mom. She is "Nana." My mom watches her 4 days a week and I cant help but feel bothered that she might be teaching Layla to say "na na." She's now saying "Da da." No mama yet :(

Honestly I would be bothered by that. It would really make me upset if either grandparent encouraged Jack to say their name first.
Jack is finally around grandparents and they are constantly trying to get him to say “mama” or “dada” And the fact that I do everything with and for Jack, I think I’d be a little upset if he says Dada first. But that’s just me being petty lol

I mean, I don't know if shes teaching her to say na na, but is it just coincidence that's the first thing she has said?? I dunno. I'm probably overreacting. At this age, it's just a bunch of sounds anyways, right? Lol

Maddie says “nie” which is Polish for “no”. And I don’t really speak Polish to her all that much. Yet she says it at least once a day.
But babies do not say actual words anything time soon. It’s just sounds that are easy for them. Coincidently their first words are what we call mama, dada, tata, nana, baba.
I wouldn’t be bothered. Once they master a sound - they will repeat it like there is no tomorrow. Nana happens to be M easy sound for her :)

Miller always says dadadada but I️ don’t think he knows what he’s saying! I’d be upset though ?

Edit: I'm slightly bothered about her saying na na. I'm alright with the fact she says dada. I'm actually thrilled she said dada before mama! It's the nana that kinda bothers me. But oh well.

Isabelle says nana all the time and we don't call anyone that, it might just be really easy to say

Aw don’t let it bother you. It’s more just sounds and babbles at this age. I’ve been saying ba ba ba (baby) to my lb and he’s copying ?

Try not to let it bother you! They are still too young to connect words with meaning, people, etc. They will often say what is easiest, or mimic what they hear. She knows who Momma is, even if she can’t say it yet. ?

No it honestly wouldn’t bothered me. My parents help look after my little girl and if she said their name first it would be fine. My little boys first words were dada and we weren’t even living together then so he wasn’t around him as often as he is now. I was the one that done everything for him and he still said dada first. They will probably just say whatever is easier for them, don’t be offended by it.

That’s why I can wait for Sean to have his first word. I’m with him 24/7 and I just know mama isn’t going to be his first word and it’s going to bother me a little because everyone is always dada, nana and pop on repeat at him.
They all tell me I’m selfish with him because I won’t leave him, let anyone watch him and he will only go to sleep for me so they don’t want his first word being mama ???

I personally wouldnt be because its just the first word. They cant control what they say. They will say what they want to say!
