Having trouble communicating with your baby?
I know it sounds strange, because babies don’t verbally talk. But they do “communicate” in other ways. Here’s one way that you know all too well: through their crying. There’s also movement, laughter, and eye contact. Your babies are experts at communicating what they want.
But communication works both ways. How do YOU communicate with your baby so that both parties understand each other?
Sixty Second Parent presents ten basic ways that you could look into for a more effective way of communicating with your growing baby.
Here’s the best one…
One of the best ways to communicate with your baby is through touch. When you cuddle, hold, kiss and carry your baby you are communicating the very powerful message that “you are loved and you are important.” So don’t think you can spoil a baby by cuddling them a lot. It’s just not possible! A great way to communicate through touch is by giving your baby a massage.
Touch is universal and timeless. Using touch to communicate carries through childhood and into adulthood. It’s a simple and comforting method that your baby will understand and respond to.
