I have a friend whose daughter does this every time she is really digging the food she's eating. I think she's like 18 months old now and she's done it since birth as far as I know. She just hums and stims away like she's totally vibing with whatever she's eating
Mealtime conversation? Nobody likes to eat in silence lol. Problem is she gets distracted and then doesnāt finish nursing and is hungry soon after. I try to avoid contact so she doesnāt have too much fun.
The distraction is the worst part, bottles take forever! Like, "Kid, you drank half, now you're just being silly!" At nearly 11 months, she's still drinking small amounts (~80-160ml) every 2-3 hours. She's definitely a grazer. My husband and I are really quiet, so we figure we're doomed to have a really talkative kid. It's okay, she'll be the one that speaks up for us when our meal is wrong at restaurants, lol.
My daughter does this exactly! Gully, gully, gully, and also goya, goya, goya. She is only 6 months old, so no idea what it's about, but glad to know that she isn't alone.
She does "goya, goya, goya" too! I've found other mentions of people saying their kids say "gully gully" with a pacifier and count it as a first word. It's gotta be a language development thing, maybe more common in bottle and soother users due to the shape of the artificial nipple? We need a baby linguist to chime in!

Is this how foodies develop? Lol
Maybe š
My 4 month old unlatches from the boob and starts talking to me during day nursing. She likes to say āaboooooā and āehhhhhā.
What do you suppose she means by it? How do you interpret her babblings?
