When Do Babies Start Clapping, Waving, and Pointing?

Sing to Your Baby and Pair Objects with Words

Babies love music! If you want to get your Bay jumping and happy, you must play some gentle music. You can also play musical finger games like This Little Piggy and Patty-Cake and use your hands to help her make some gestures when singing. Studies show that singing to your baby can help her learn how to move in a coordinated manner. In addition, you can play some gentle music to help your baby fall asleep.

Do not underestimate the power of talking when teaching a baby how to communicate. They cannot speak but can hear adequately. Experts recommend a teaching game called “Eyes-nose-mouth.” It is a game that involves actions when communicating. Hold your baby’s hands, touch your eyes, then your nose, then your mouth and end it with a kiss on her hand. The game is engaging, so she pays attention to the gesture and even giggles. It is important to name each organ while playing the game: “eyes, nose, mouth, and kiss.”
