I was working on a project about families and it got me wondering if regardless of the country or culture the word Mom was the same in every country? So I started exploring, Mom regardless of how it’s said is the first or second word pronounced by a baby in most cases. If a baby has a older sibling they may hear that brother or sister’s name often and likely to announce that name first. With my family the boy heard his sister’s name enough times to say her name before Mom or Dad imagine that.
