Holding Talking Tips
Very young babies will be held a lot and won’t be able to interact with you as much. But don’t be fooled, because your baby is always listening to you. Even if you are just talking about your day and narrating what is going on, your voice and the words your baby is hearing are doing a lot for their brain development.
Conversation starters from Talk With Me Baby
- “Does it make you happy to hear my voice? Is that a smile? Can you smile? Oh, there it is, big smile! Are you a happy, loved baby? Yes,
you are!” - “Phew! What a morning! Are you ready for a nap? Me too! Let’s sit down in this rocking chair and start to relax. Can you feel that motion? That’s nice, isn’t it? Let’s take a
rest together.”
