Talk to your baby - 0-6 Months

Resources

Chatter Matters

A baby learns to talk every time you talk to them. A baby learns to listen
every time you listen to them.

Using your baby's daily routines can offer you a great opportunity to talk to your baby. Daily routines such as changing their nappy, changing their clothes, feeding, bath time and bedtime can offer you some close face to face contact to talk to your baby. 

Singing nursery rhymes to your baby, copying their cues and sounds as well as facial expressions develops their communication skills.
