When should "Mummy" & "Daddy" fit into the first words game?

I can't remember how old DS was when he started saying mummy and daddy, but he could definitely say them a few months before he began using them in context properly, as in calling to me from another room etc.

I would think that if his receptive language is good then you shouldn't worry too much, but maybe bring it up at his next check up if you're still concerned.

We were both called Daddy until quite recently.....I would say he was nearly two before I got Mummy in context and even now he sometimes gets them mixed up at 2 years 2 months! All very normal I think......
