Baby Talking Time

By Joseph Jacob


The initial "baby talk" is nonverbal and occurs right after birth. Your toddler smiles, grimaces, cries, and squirms to express a range of feelings and demands, from anxiety and starvation to irritation and sensory overload. It helps dad and mom to pay attention and interpret their baby's unique cries.

Just when your toddler will say those magical first words differs between newborn to newborn. However, if your toddler misses any of the milestones in speech growth, converse with your pediatrician or family doctor about your worries.

How your baby communicates with you

At birth: Right from the start, your infant is mastering the art of communication: He cries and you pacify him. Your reaction to his noise-making lays the foundation for language.

At two months: Your baby can reply to your cues. So whenever you say sweet nothings whilst looking at him, he can gaze back and coo in return. He's building a connection between what he hears and what he does with his mouth. As well as the high-pitched, singsong way you almost certainly converse keeps your child interested so he can start to decipher sentences and words and phrases.

At six to 8 months: Prepare for the adorable babbling! Your newborn would make vowel sound now, and will include consonants too. In months he could imitate the sounds he hears once you converse.

In some cases it really is not easy to understand when your baby's babbles make the leap from nonsense noise to sounds that actually signify somebody, or something. Eventually, her enunciation will catch up to her comprehension, and she'll add new words every single day (the period around eighteen months is often known as the language explosion).

For now, listen for those vowel-consonant combos, and for signs that the baby's receptive language is growing, which means she understands what she hears. Does she answer by turning her head any time you call her name? (If not, speak to her pediatrician about getting her listening analyzed.) Find out if she follows uncomplicated instructions, such as "pet the doggie" or "kiss daddy."
