Never forget, these stages of your baby’s development are broad and that no baby will fall precisely within the time frame of these expected milestones. They are merely a rough guide.

One month. Your baby will understand speech long before they begin to speak. From birth they will look at your face and listen to your voice. They will make a small range of noises that will start to mean something to you, such as their way of exhibiting hunger or pain. These noises will include crying and certain sounds that your baby makes while they are breathing.
Your baby’s cry is an important way for them to communicate. Crying lays the foundation for speech as your baby learns to control the air that comes from their lungs and learns how to use their vocal cords. Crying is your baby’s way of telling you that they are hungry, upset or cold.

Two months. Your two-month old baby is starting to pay more and more attention to their world. They will be fascinated by the sound of your voice and will follow it around the room with great concentration. The different tones of you voice will keep them interested for short periods of time. Your baby will respond with a variety of cooing sounds, vowel-like sounds, and sometimes some consonant sounds such as a “k”. You will learn that your baby has quite a collection of cooing sounds that they use to communicate with you as well as discover how to use the sound of their own voice.
Talk to your baby as much as possible to encourage their cooing response. Look directly into your baby’s eyes to show that you are listening. This helps to establish signals of communication between the two of you.

Three months. Your baby will recognize your voice and will turn towards you when they hear you talking. They will be starting to laugh out loud and will often startle themself until they learn that they are the one making the sound. Your baby will be making sounds such as “ahhhh gooo”. They will squeal when they are happy and content, again often startling themself as they learns their own abilities.

Continue to talk to your baby as much as possible, as well as sing to them and read them stories. The more you communicate with them and let them know that you are listening the more they will attempt to communicate with you.
