Yep, [mama] is usually part of reduplicative babble demonstrated by 
infants. [m] is a common sound in most languages (and exists in pretty much 
every language on the planet) so tends to be babbled a lot, and often 
mistaken for a word ("mama").

How much Lojban are you speaking to them? And what other languages are they 
hearing in their environment?
