Babbling is the stage in early language development when infants begin to produce sounds that include both vowels and consonants, which is typically around 6 months of age. This stage precedes the formation of actual words and is characterized by repetitive syllable sounds, such as "ba-ba" or "da-da," indicating the initial use of consonants in a child's language.
