Baby Getting Dressed

As you dress your child, copy the sounds you hear them make, like “ah, eee, ooo, bee, dee.” How do they respond? As you make a sound, place their fingers on your lips so they can feel the vibrations and movements of your lips. Try different sounds as you do!

See what your child is learning

Touching and listening to sounds fosters your child’s interest in listening and communicating. It won’t be long before you’re having back-and-forth conversations with real words.
