Is it smart for the baby to call dad first?

After the baby is born, almost all parents are very curious about when the baby can speak. In addition, they will also wonder whether the baby will call dad first or mom first. Some people think that the baby who calls dad first will be smarter. Is this really the case?

As for the question of whether a child will call dad or mom first, it is actually a process for the baby to learn pronunciation. Although some people think that the baby will call dad first and will learn to call mom after a few years, this is not necessarily the case. If the mother is used to the mother's pronunciation during the baby's growth process, the baby will also call mom first. Some babies will even call grandpa and grandma first.

There is currently no scientific basis for the statement that babies will be smarter if they call dad first. It's just that the pronunciations of baba/mama are easier to pronounce, so most children learn these two pronunciations first. This is also the reason why the pronunciations of dad and mom are similar internationally.

Moreover, many babies are unconscious when they first call dad and mom. At this time, the baby cannot distinguish who he is calling. Sometimes the baby even calls out some genders and people of different generations randomly. Only when the baby can confirm who he is calling, then the baby will start to speak.
