It's all about the b, and the d, and the babble – repeating initial sounds supports early learning

When you are playing with your baby, try to label and name the toys.  Use a mixture of words and babbles, to support their understanding of early communication. Show your baby an object, for example, a ball, and say “Ball! b,b,b,b,b, ball!” Or when it is bath time say “Bubbles! B,b,b,b,b, bubbles!” or “Pop, the bubbles are popping. P,p,p,p, pop!” Wait and listen for your baby to try and make sounds of their own. Use as much expression as you can, your baby will love the enthusiasm in your face and voice. The extra gestures give them clues that they are doing well.
