   What are the original words for mom and dad? When did they first get established ? They're obviously really easy utterances- "mom" "dad"... "ma" "da."
   
   Is that why they're called that ?
   
   What do other languages say as "mom?"

   If you had a babby and had it in a dark room with its mom and dad and they never left but they never talked, what do you think the babby first words would be ? Or would it not even try?

    they make mouth sounds and Ma is for Mom because she has breast and feeds the baby which is kind of a kissing smack sound

    they look at dad and go Bababa or dada and it's saying "Don't feed me" like no no no. bleyeck"
    
    that's my unedumacated guess.. but the Mother part is probably a fact. the child calls the mother by a sense of hunger for her milk bags.
