Rationale 1: By the age of 18 months, the child will have names for more people than just "mama" and "dada."
Rationale 2: By eight months, infants will be making the sounds "mamamamam" and "dadadada" because they like to repeat sounds. At this time, they do not use these as names for the parents.
Rationale 3: A five-month-old infant makes sounds, but the sounds are not words.
Rationale 4: A child should be able to verbalize "mama" or "dada" to identify her parents by one year of age.
