Episode notes
Speak In Parentese
- Use parentese: sing-song, vowel-extended speech helps babies learn language and rhythm.
- Parentese boosts receptive and expressive language and prepares babies for reading.
Try Baby-Led Weaning Carefully
- Consider baby-led weaning as an option once solids begin, ensuring safety against choking.
- Research is limited, so choose based on your family's comfort and values.
Introduce Allergens Early
- Early introduction of allergenic foods (around 4–6 months) can lower allergy risk for many infants.
- Check with your pediatrician if your family has allergy history.
