Speech & Language Milestones: What to expect from birth to 3 months
Caregivers may be concerned if there is a lack of sounds back and forth from the baby.

Caregiver Tip: Try self-talk. Talk about what you are seeing, doing, or hearing. You could say, for example, "I see a dog. The dog is black. The dog says “woof-woof.”

Each child develops uniquely and these milestones are not meant to be a screening or diagnostic tool. For more information and access to resources, visit https://bit.ly/4eZq341.
