While the baby was in her mother’s womb she heard muffled voices. And now is the time she listens to her mother and other member’s voices clearly. Talk to her with funny sounds, actions and voice modulations, tell her what’s going on around her. Even though she won’t understand words, she will start to recognize the voice and relate feelings to the voice sounds and modulations.
