This is easy and can be a lot of fun.

6 Steps To You Talk With A Newborn?
1. Choose The Words
Choose the words or phrases that you want to say to your baby every time you interact with them. Set the tone of your voice tone same level each time you repeat those words.
2. Eye Contact
Make direct eye contact and place your baby where they can see your mouth moving and look into your face.
3. Speak Slowly
Speak slowly and pronounce your words carefully.
4. Choose Powerful Words
Choose words that mean something to your baby like their name. Then move to words like "mommy", "daddy" etc
5. Repeat Words
Repeat these words every time you talk to your baby and build your "baby" vocabulary each time you interact. Add in new words often.
6. Say New Words
If you are covering your baby with their blanket, say the words "Blanket" or "blankie" so that just by doing something that comes natural to you (i.e covering your baby when she is cold) you are introducing new words.
Tips and Warnings
