How to Talk to Baby

How much can Baby understand? Really, there’s no way to know for certain. Ms. Hogg wisely points out in Secrets of the Baby Whisperer that babies are people too. It seems too obvious to mention, but parents can ignore this very basic fact if they aren’t careful.

Isn’t it tempting to talk about Baby while he’s around? Of course! He’s usually the most interesting topic of conversation! But, how do I feel when someone complains about how I’m grumpy all the time or so difficult to understand? Perhaps we ought to choose our words more carefully. You never know when Baby will begin to catch the drift.
