Detailed explanation-1: -Baby Talk: Imitate Your Baby Imitate baby’s vocalizations–“ba-ba” or “goo-goo”–then wait for them to make another sound, and repeat that back. Do your best to respond, even when you don’t understand what your baby is trying to say. Reinforce communication by smiling and mirroring facial expressions.
