Zulu...it have someting tuh do wid pronunciation.  To form MA MA, it requires closing the lips to form the M sound.  The D sound in Da Da is an easier sound which is why it comes faster to babies learning tuh talk.

On ah side note...my daughter first words were "Leave dat".

my daughter's first words were "Dad may I have the credit card?"

Right and in countries where they say 'papa' it is even harder to pronounce than 'mama' so in those places 'mama' tends to be first.
