Yes, your baby learns to communicate from you. Imitate the sounds your baby makes. Use complete sentences. “It’s time for your bath.“ “Now, I’m going to wash your face; scrub-a-dub-dub.” “Won’t it feel good to be clean?” Your child will be talking back to you through smiling, crying, soft sounds, and arm and leg movements. Most of your child’s vocabulary will consist of “oo” sounds. Try to figure out what your baby is trying to tell you, and respond to it. Get down on your baby’s level and look into his eyes when you are “talking “ with each other.
