But what word will your little one say?

When it comes to which parent gets bragging rights, a survey of 11,000 Moms has found that 52% of babies first said ‘dad’ or a similar version, while 35% said ‘mom’. Why do dads seem to get the first word honor more often? One reason is that the d sound is easier for babies to utter than the m sound.
