Why does the word "mama" so often mean mother in different languages, even in languages that aren't closely related?

Infant humans gain sounds in a fairly predictable order, regardless of where they are born. Some of the earliest sounds include /d/ /b/ /m/ and vowels that require you to little more than open your mouth like /a/.

With infants being able to say little than "mama, baba, dada", it is no surprise that those first words developed into the words for mother and father.
