Fun facts

  • Babies recognize your voice from birth — they’ve been listening since the womb!

  • Cooing (those sweet “ooohs” and “ahhhs”) starts as early as 6 weeks — the very beginning of speech.

  • Smiles and eye contact are your baby’s first “conversations.”

  • The sing-song way you naturally talk (“parentese”) helps babies learn the rhythm of language.

  • Reading aloud is worthwhile from day one — even newborns learn from your voice, tone, and the rhythm of stories.

  • By 6 months, babies are already sorting sounds to figure out which ones belong in their language(s).
