When does a baby first start to talk?

Babies typically start to babble and produce their first clear words around 6-12 months of age. However, the age at which a baby starts talking can vary greatly, with some babies beginning to speak as early as 9 months and others not until around 18 months. It's important to remember that all children develop at their own pace.

How do you teach a 4 month old baby to talk?

At 4 months old, babies are typically not yet able to talk. However, you can encourage language development by talking to your baby frequently, using simple words and repeating sounds. Reading to your baby and responding to their coos and babbles can also help in building their communication skills over time.


Will I delay my infants language development by talking baby talk to her?

No--just the opposite!Baby talk is EXACTLY what you should use when talking to a baby. This natural instinct that parents have is part of the natural and normal language-learning process. To omit baby talk would be unnatural. Use normal adult language at times, too, of course, but place no limit on yourself whatsoever in terms of the silly baby talk you use to communicate with your child. This will actually speed up language development.The reason for this is because baby talk is a natural instinct that is perfectly attuned to the way babies perceive their world. Babies respond most strongly to sights and sounds that are "high contrast," i.e. bright colors (especially red, black, and white), high-pitched, sing-songy speech, and music, etc. Humans develop the ability to see and hear more nuances in the world later on, but babies like high-contrast things.Baby talk is naturally a kind of "high contrast" language: baby talk has exaggerated pitches and intonation, and it is full of repetition--exactly the kind that babies need to learn language. A lot of baby talk is questions. Imagine a mother speaking in high-pitched baby talk saying a string of phrases like this while tickling a baby:"Are you being silly?""Are you silly?""Are you my silly little guy?""Silly, silly, silly!"The baby doesn't really know what any of the phrases mean--but notice how the word "silly" is repeated, and "Are you" is repeated. It's from contrastive repetition of similar phrases like this that are a natural part of baby talk that babies start to resolve phrases into smaller elements and eventually the individual words. In the mean time, the baby is entertained by the fun that baby talk is.So: speak baby talk as much as possible to your baby and have no guilt about doing so whatsoever! It's the best way for your baby to learn.
