Tummy Talk
Your baby begins learning speech and language long before he utters his first word. Besides talking to your baby, try a little Tummy Talk. It makes speech and language a sensory experience.
Materials
- Your mouth
- Soft blanket
Instructions
- Remove your baby's clothes (diaper optional) and place him on a blanket, on his back
- Kneel down beside your baby, chat for a moment, and gently rub his tummy.
- Now it's time for Tummy Talk. Press your face and lips onto your baby's tummy, and talk, sing, recite a nursery rhyme, or just make up funny words. Vary the pitch and loudness of your voice as you speak.
- Add a few kisses each time you finish your words.
- Sit up and smile at your baby after each Tummy Talk. Your baby should be giggling while you play and anticipating the next ticklish chat.
Safety
Don't speak too loudly; you don't want to startle your baby. And if you play this game with a naked baby, keep a diaper nearby, in case of a sudden tinkle!
