The delicious sounds of your baby's mouth, lips, tongue and throat working together
Your baby’s first sounds were reflexive – ones that didn't require control, like crying, coughing and burping. They will have been exploring the movement of their mouth and tongue as well as developing physical skills and control of their mouth as they sucked to feed and to explore their hands.[1] Now you might notice that they move their mouth, lips and tongue in different ways and might begin to explore making a wider range of sounds.
