Face to Face
Whenever you talk to your baby, be sure to make lots of eye contact so that he knows that you are talking to him. For a relaxing back-and-forth exchange, sit face to face with your baby or hold him so you are facing each other.
- Ask a simple question, such as, How are you, sweet baby? and wait for his answer.
- Imitate the sounds your baby makes as you continue to each other.
- Say something different or try a new sound and see if your baby will copy you!
Make sure to tell your baby how much you enjoy talking with him.
