Babies ABSOLUTELY have the help of other people. Sure, they don’t have a “language educator” drilling them with grammar exercises and whatnot, but they absolutely do have parents and grandparents interacting with them for years.
Grown-ups don’t have that luxury because few people have the time and money to drop everything and hire some native speakers to act like doting parents for months on end.
