1. Teaching Your Baby How To Speak: Pediatricians recommend this method called "parentese." In an article published by Read To Your Baby, they explained that this way of teaching your baby to speak is not something you could call "baby talk." In fact, it is the complete opposite of it.
This form of speech training to babies is more effective, as it involves you stretching out real words and carefully articulating them. Babies could learn how to speak faster using this method than doing baby talks and teaching them using mumbled words.
2. Feeding Your Baby: In an article published by Parents.com, cuddling your baby while feeding him is a must. The logic behind it is that your child would feel even more loved and secured when you cradle them. According to Dr. Gail Gross, there is a study that shows babies who have developed a close attachment to their parent are more likely to grow up smart.
3. Training Them Early For Hygiene: You can do this by simply changing your baby's diaper into a fresh one when it is needed. Bathing and brushing their teeth are also acts that would teach them to take pride in their body at a very early age.
These three things would make a difference when you apply it in handling your babies. Share this with your friends and loved ones who you think would need these parenting tips as well.
