Answers:

Simplify Your Language. Infants have a limited understanding of language. When you speak to them, use simple, short sentences, and direct language. Speak slowly and clearly, and use a high-pitched voice.

Use nonverbal communication. Infants are also very sensitive to nonverbal communication. Smile, make eye contact, and use facial expressions to communicate with your infant. Use gestures such as pointing and waving to help them understand what you are saying. Touch is also an essential form of nonverbal communication, and you can use a soft touch to comfort your baby or show affection.
