Tony - maybe a better analogy between speech and the OP's problem with the break is learning to say a tongue-twister reliably.
That is also, I suggest, not something that a child will learn by random babbling. Sure, if he babbles enough he will sometimes say it correctly, but to learn to say it reliably will, I suggest, require systematic practice.
I've never heard a toddler teaching himself to say a tongue-twister and it is possible, therefore, that I am wrong. Maybe the babbling method would indeed work. I very much doubt that it would be the most efficient way for an adult to learn.
(I admit that my analogy begs the question as to whether the concept of tongue-twister has any application to a toddler. For an adult, a tongue-twister is a string of words that breaks normal rules of pronunciation in an awkward way. For a toddler, there may be no rules, in which case there can be no such thing as a tongue-twister.)
.....
Tongue-twisters apart, I think there may be another problem with your suggestion that the OP should just babble a bit. I wonder whether adults CAN babble in the way an infant can. (Were you inclined to be rude, you might say I'm having a pretty good try....)
Perhaps babbling works for infants because they are able to do it in an uncontrolled, unselfconscious way. Perhaps it works because infants don't care if they make mistakes. A normal adult, who cares desperately about his mistakes even if nobody is there to hear them, may not be able to benefit from babbling in the same way as an infant can.
I have no expertise in child psychology, nor adult psychology come to that, so I shall stop.
