At the Doctor Talking Tips
There are lots of check-ups in the first year of your baby’s life, so visiting the pediatrician and getting looked in on by doctors and nurses will be a fairly common situation to talk through with your baby.
Conversation starters from Talk With Me Baby
- “We’re waiting for the doctor to visit our room and check out your body. You’ve grown a lot since she last saw you and she’s excited to chart your growth and talk to us about how we can stay healthy.”
- “I’m going to hold you while the doctor listens to your heart with her special instrument. We’re going to pull up your shirt and show her your chest and your tummy. Hold my hand, you’ll be okay.”

Talking Tips are provided by Talk With Me Baby, an Atlanta organization working to bring the concept of language nutrition into public awareness and educate caregivers on the importance of talking with their baby every day, in an effort to close the word gap.
