Ooh, are you interested in this? – Let me tell you what it is
What you need
- Nappy change accessories
What to try
- While you are changing your baby's nappy, show them the nappy and comment “Oh, here is your nappy.”
- Talk about the nappy routine by saying things like, “Let’s take this nappy off.”
- When you reach for wipes or your choice of cleaning product, show it to them and tell them what you are using.
- If your baby catches your eye, enthusiastically name the item in your hand again.
- Continue to talk about the items you are using with your baby, naming them and showing them.
- You could try narrating your changing time using a singing tone; this could make it more exciting for your baby and will further support the development of early interactions.
