Tip 2
Tip 2: Cuddle me close so I can see your face and talk to me as soon as I am born.
- I love it when you talk in a high pitched, singsong voice. People all over the world talk this way to babies because it helps us to learn.
- I might not be able to talk yet, but I will respond in my own way. I might look hard at your face, move my mouth when you talk or even wave my arms and legs. These all mean I am bonding with you.
