| Young babies don’t understand words yet. But they know your voice and how words sound. They are learning that when they make noise something happens. This is the start of communication. | Talk to your baby while you care for him. How you talk to your baby changes as he grows. “Baby talk” is OK now. Use a soft, sing song voice when you talk to your baby. Look into his eyes. |
