Decoding Baby Talk
Learning Baby Talk
Baby talk is easy to learn and takes just a few weeks to master. Dunstan recommends getting familiar with baby talk just prior to your child's birth; then watching the DVD again once your baby is born. “The first few weeks with a newborn can be overwhelming, so it helps to be prepared and understand the meaning of your baby’s cry before she arrives,” she says. The first three words are the most common (and important). Dunstan recommends spending a week becoming comfortable with recognizing these three words, then moving on to the last two. In two weeks you should be fluent in baby talk.
