Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse determines that the infant is demonstrating the highest level of developmental achievement expected if the infant uses monosyllabic babbling. Using monosyllabic babbling occurs between three and six months of age. Using simple words such as "mama" occurs between nine and twelve months of age. Linking syllables together when communicating occurs between six and nine months of age. Cooing begins at birth and continues until two months of age.
