If it was my kid, I would want him/her to hear whole phrases and sentences. I don't understand the ''Agoo'' nonsense some adults do with their babies.
Even though more women do it, I actually find it idiotic. What's the point of baby talk?
Good question. I was told I spoke straight and clear since almost birth basically, and that my purpoted sibling could not put two words together.
But that was by my purpoted parents - people who stole me from my biological parents or fosters and... well, it is impossible to know whether anything they say is true.
My thought regarding this topic would be - would you from the beginning treat your child as a future adult that will one day marry a person they are not related to (not the same family and not 1st cousins at least).
And do you then actively seek a 2nd cousin or further that your own child might like as their future love (r)/husband/wife - or do you leave it to your own child to figure out themself? Or do you actively delude them to they remain dependent on you?
Most people I have met actively deluded their (perhaps also stolen) children. Maybe they were deluding themselves too.
Baby talk, also known as infant-directed speech or child-directed speech, is a type of speech that adults use when communicating with young children. It is characterized by a high-pitched, exaggerated intonation, exaggerated pitch contours, and slowed-down speech rhythm. The point of baby talk is to engage and communicate effectively with infants and young children, as well as to help them learn and acquire language. Research suggests that baby talk helps to capture a child's attention, provides them with crucial acoustic information for speech perception and language learning, and promotes bonding between the adult and child.
Same as a 12 years old canât go to college yet he has to wait his time and learn whatâs to learn by that point. Take it easy nothing wrong with it if you want you can speak to your 8 months old as a toddler. And what an achievement by 1st grade they are ahead of their classmates like itâs already a competition. Nice
Its true, babies comprehend regular talk better and will actually try to communicate in return. But i just find the goo goo gaga so adorable that i catch myself talking like that even to adults 😭😂🤣 Im very nurturing

Sure you can talk to them like how you talk to adults but they're gonna have a harder time to adjust. Baby talk is a way adults adjust to a baby by showing them body languages or how babies express for them to feel more comfortable with adults. It's like asking what's the point of teaching preschoolers basic math when we could just teach them algebra.
I mean I agree with you but at the same time itâs so cute when they try to talk you canât help mimicking them. I do the same thing with my cat and he definitely wonât ever be able to speak in complete sentences.
I've wondered that ever since I was a kid. I don't have any answers for you, but I can assure you you're not the only one who wonders.
Experts say you must not repeat what the baby says since it *does* understand what you say but cannot repeat it that way due to the lingual muscle development. I know my niece can't pronounce any of her aunts' or uncles' names, but I still mention them to her properly. Who knows how babies might mess up baby talk when their brain and tongue just ain't synchonized yet.
It's actually beneficial. Not all the good goo Gaga shit but the slow and exaggerated talked helps stimulate babies brains and helps them learn language.
So yes, baby talk helps babies learn how to talk.
I didn't do it with my kids and my oldest daughter is a minimum of an entire grade level ahead of her peers in reading and writing at all times.
It teaches babys the sounds of the
language. Those are the building blocks for words and eventually sentences.
I was really curious about this so I went and asked baby. He looked at me and smiled but all he said was "Gee gee, geek'.
I think it comes naturally as a response to cute baby creature
i got baby-talked as a child and look at me now! walking dictionary, as well as major smartass
I never understood it either, I've always spoken to kids normally.
I think teaching them how to actually speak proper language would be better for them, words like goo and gaa are not going to be useful in life.
It's more like mimicking the baby, so it starts to understand communication.
Great question. Never understood why a baby would understand gibberish coming out your mouth. lol
Designed to keep kids slower for longer sounds like a democrat policy to keep them supplied
Wait until you are 30 and have your first child you will understand.
Ugh. I can't stand it either
You'll understand when you'd have a baby
Youâll be a great mom!
