Are you eagerly looking forward to the day your baby says those sweet first words?

But when should the baby start talking? Should my baby already be having their first words? Should I be doing anything to make this happen faster?

The pressure is real and we all feel it as parents. That’s why I’m here today, as a developmental and behavioral pediatrician, parent coach, and mom to bust some myths around our baby's first words.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER: 

• The key to recognizing the communication between you and your baby that’s already happening every single day.
• The scientific reason behind the adorable “babbling” and “raspberries”
• Why you may have greater success if you ditch all the things that the internet has been telling you to do. Instead, spend 10 minutes just being with your baby.
