For Your Information

Take a Minute

Assessments of 9-month-old children suggest those who hear baby talk -- words such as "bunny" or "choo-choo" -- more frequently are faster at picking up new words between 9 and 21 months. Researches say this suggests some types of baby talk words can help infants develop their vocabulary more quickly.
