Chitter chatter: your baby’s voice is ever evolving

It’s likely that your baby will be chatting away to themselves by now: making lots of different noises like squeals, oohs and other vocal sounds.  

These different sounds all mean that your baby wants to chat to you. Chat back by repeating the noises they make, making up your own sounds or using words (or a mixture of all three of these sounds). 

Although you might not understand what they are saying, some of the noises your baby makes may give you an idea of how they’re feeling; you might well be able to distinguish happy sounds from frustrated ones. 

Their new-found rhythmic chatter, combined with a mixture of consonants and vowels, just might melt your heart.  

If you can, listen to them when they are playing, or have just woken up. Your baby’s voice can sometimes be very expressive! Enjoy hearing their personality coming out in this new way. 

And don’t forget to capture some of those lovely chats to add to your scrapbook and share with friends or family!
