Your baby’s language can start to develop from the earliest age. We should all be talking to even the youngest babies as their are wonderful at picking up the sounds of their parents and siblings around them. As they grow, you can work to introduce them to new sounds and language to speed them on their way to their first words and successful communication.
Here are my 6 top tips to get your baby talking:
1. From Newborn
Talking to baby as much as you can. When changing a nappy, having a bath, doing activities on mat.
2. Sing Songs, Say Nursery Rhymes
From nursery rhymes to Taylor Swift! Repetitive words and rhyming sounds help baby absorb words quicker.
3. Action Songs
Using baby’s hands to touch their own body as you sing “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” help make the connection from word to object. Also babies love a good show!
4. Flashcards
Store-bought or Home-made, flashcards are great for associating labels with familiar objects and people baby sees each day. I have a great post on Instagram all about making homemade flashcards!
