Talking and babbling – your baby will love to hear your words

Use every opportunity to speak to your baby.  
Focus on them and look directly into their eyes.  
React positively to the sounds they make and use a positive tone of voice when responding to them.  
Nonverbal communication is another good way of responding to your baby. Clap, smile, laugh, and wave as they make babbling sounds. This will give your baby more cues to tell them that their babbling is a great thing.
