How can cheap baby clothes be better for your baby? The answer is quite simple, by spending less on cute trendy baby clothes there will be money left over to buy something which will help your child's educational development . . . . books. Research has shown that introducing books to babies at a young age helps develop their language, communication skills and their overall learning.
Talking to your newborn baby is very important as all the experts will tell you. Not only does it help you to bond with your baby it helps his brain to develop and begins the learning process. Even before your baby can talk back to you there are ways you can teach him the rules of conversation and communication.
So how do you teach your baby to hold a conversation with you? No matter whether you are breastfeeding or bottle feeding her always hold her and talk to her. It doesn't matter what you talk about - the weather or what you need from the grocery store - the important thing is that you communicate with her.
Your baby's first "conversations" with you mostly take place when you are feeding him. The pauses in his sucking correspond to him taking a turn in the conversation. As he gets older the pauses in sucking will be filled with coos as he responds to you. Always hold your baby when you feed him and talk to him, remembering to leave gaps so he can "talk" to you.
Some moms have said to me that they feel silly talking or singing to their baby who cannot talk as they don't know what to say. I remember when I had my own children I just used to talk about anything, like what we were going to do that day or about doing the laundry it really didn't matter. The baby not only gets to know your voice but it is also very soothing to them and lets them know you are still there when you are not in sight.
You might find it easier to read to your baby and she is never too young to introduce to books. Choose books with brightly colored pictures and a simple rhyming text. Some favorites are Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and One Fish To Fish and I'm sure you probably have others from when you were young. Sharing books with your baby helps to teach them any number of things such as the names of things in the world about them, the concept of counting and colors.
Another great way to interact with your baby is to sing nursery rhymes to her. If she is upset lullabies like Hush Little Baby and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star will help soothe her and calm her down. To help with motor skills and co-ordination action rhymes such as Incey Wincey Spider, Patty Cake and This Little Piggy are great fun.
The more time you spend with your baby talking, singing and reading with them the more you are helping development for future learning. Not only are you increasing your child's vocabulary but you are teaching valuable communication skills.
So you see by buying cheap baby clothes and perhaps spending more on books for your baby you are making an early start on their education. - 22783
