Look who's talking!
Most babies start to babble at around 6 months of age. By 6 months, your baby will make simple sounds like ‘ba’ or ‘da’ but shortly after 6 months she will start to link them in a little conversation – “ba-da-da-ka.” This is babbling.
Top tips for promoting the development of language:
Speak to your baby a lot – research has shown that babies of talkative moms have higher verbal IQ’s.
Language development can be very varied. Don’t worry too much if your little one is a little slower to talk than her friends, as long as she understands what you are saying.
When your little one babbles, repeat the sounds back to her so she starts to understand that language is a two-way activity.
