Unhealthy Ways To Talk With Baby Talk

Is speaking in baby talk really an unhealthy way to converse with a baby? There are differing opinions whether it is healthy to talk to a baby with “baby talk”. One side of the argument is that it does not matter if a talk to babies like this because they will not catch on to the “baby talk” words or phrases, so it will not affect them in learning new vocabulary. This argument claims the babies are too young to remember, and they won’t catch on the “baby talk”. Another argument is if a parent talks to a baby in “baby talk,” once they get older and start to learn words it takes longer to comprehend the vocabulary. This is because they have to transition from what they have heard from their parents to what the actual word or words are.

I tend to agree with the second argument I listed that claims that babies catch on phrases the parents say or the way words are said. Once they get used to saying words this way it would be difficult or take them longer for them to comprehend and say the new words correctly.

I would have to do a lot more research to support this belief, but what I have read so far is very convincing. In the meantime, I persuade parents not to use “baby talk” with your child because it may interfere with their learning ability in the
