For your little one to get the most benefits:
Talk with her often. Talkative parents tend to have talkative children.
Get some alone time with your infant. Baby talk is most beneficial when it's one-on-one between parent and child, with no other adults or children around.
When your baby tries to talk back to you, don't interrupt or look away. She needs to know you care about listening to her.
Look your child in the eyes. She'll respond better to speech when she's looking right at you.
Limit how much TV she sees and hears. Too much can stunt language growth. Besides, you’re more fun than the voice on the screen, right?
Throw in some grown-up speak, too. Your baby needs to hear how words sound in everyday conversation.
As your child develops and matures, so should the way you talk to her.
