A great way to promote speech development is to teach your baby animal sounds. This will help them to say words later on. There is no age too young to start this and actually they can still benefit from animal sounds well into their two’s. It’s not even just animal sounds that are helpful. Any kind of sound like the one a car makes, an airplane, or the beep beep of a horn.

Thanks for this tip Jill. I’ve always been very communicative with my kid – rarely use baby talk, but always lots of music, words and sounds. I think it’s really helped them to become pretty articulate little people!

I think that is great. It drives me crazy when my DH uses baby talk with dd but actually I am guilty of it sometimes too!
