| Music helps babies learn to talk. If you sing a lot your baby will learn from you. Songs and rhymes help babies remember. Soon you will hear your baby sing or chant parts of the songs you teach her. | Hand rhymes such as Itsy, Bitsy Spider, Pat-A-Cake, and This Little Piggy are good for this age. Your baby doesn't need to understand every word. Rhymes teach her that language is fun to play with. Ask your librarian for hand rhyme books. |
