0:00:11.740,0:00:14.920
This video will help parents[br]understand the stages of baby

0:00:14.920,0:00:18.850
talk, from birth through[br]the first 12 months.

0:00:18.850,0:00:21.010
We'll cover early[br]speech milestones,

0:00:21.010,0:00:24.610
from initial sounds, to those[br]all-important, much-awaited

0:00:24.610,0:00:26.010
first words.

0:00:26.010,0:00:26.790
Bye!

0:00:26.790,0:00:28.160
Bye.

0:00:28.160,0:00:31.880
We're going to show what[br]each stage sounds like,

0:00:31.880,0:00:35.000
and explain what's going on[br]behind the scenes with babies

0:00:35.000,0:00:38.360
hearing and understanding--[br]the foundations of good speech

0:00:38.360,0:00:40.790
development.

0:00:40.790,0:00:42.890
It starts with phonation stage.

0:00:42.890,0:00:47.030
From birth to two months,[br]we hear vowels, consonants,

0:00:47.030,0:00:48.800
throaty sounds.

0:00:48.800,0:00:53.150
They're also developing[br]differentiated crying,

0:00:53.150,0:00:55.430
which has two-fold importance.

0:00:55.430,0:00:59.210
The first is it lets us know[br]that babies know that they need

0:00:59.210,0:01:01.050
to communicate different needs.

0:01:01.050,0:01:02.280
You want to eat something?

0:01:02.280,0:01:05.660
And the second is that it[br]helps parents figure out

0:01:05.660,0:01:07.970
what's going on with baby.

0:01:07.970,0:01:11.180
From birth, baby is[br]already paying attention,

0:01:11.180,0:01:13.250
and this is the foundation[br]for the development

0:01:13.250,0:01:14.270
of speech sound.

0:01:14.270,0:01:16.700
She's startling to loud noises.

0:01:16.700,0:01:18.530
He recognizes your voice.

0:01:18.530,0:01:23.150
He quiets, and eventually[br]smiles when you speak to him.

0:01:23.150,0:01:27.140
There are increases or decreases[br]in sucking behavior in response

0:01:27.140,0:01:28.850
to new and different[br]sounds, which

0:01:28.850,0:01:32.750
is why it's so very important[br]that you speak to your baby.

0:01:32.750,0:01:36.620
Research tells us babies need[br]to hear their first words about

0:01:36.620,0:01:39.875
500 times before they say them.

0:01:39.875,0:01:42.350
[COOING]

0:01:42.350,0:01:46.130
From two to three months,[br]we have the goo stage.

0:01:46.130,0:01:48.350
In addition to all[br]the other sounds,

0:01:48.350,0:01:50.930
we start to hear the[br]typical cooing and gooing.

0:01:50.930,0:01:51.830
[COOING]

0:01:51.830,0:01:52.910
Yeah?

0:01:52.910,0:01:55.310
And we really want to[br]hear these changes,

0:01:55.310,0:01:58.790
because it says to us[br]that baby's hearing is OK,

0:01:58.790,0:02:01.250
and that he or she is[br]starting to recognize

0:02:01.250,0:02:02.900
the sounds of their language.

0:02:02.900,0:02:05.540
Interestingly, babies[br]are born with the ability

0:02:05.540,0:02:09.320
to say all the sounds in[br]all the languages, which

0:02:09.320,0:02:12.410
is why it's so much easier[br]to learn a foreign language

0:02:12.410,0:02:13.700
when you're young.

0:02:13.700,0:02:16.520
And it's through hearing[br]the specific sounds

0:02:16.520,0:02:18.000
in their own language--

0:02:18.000,0:02:19.125
Can you say hi to Danielle?

0:02:19.125,0:02:23.390
--that they begin to shape[br]their speech to that model.

0:02:23.390,0:02:26.660
From four to six months[br]is the expansion stage.

0:02:26.660,0:02:28.460
"Ah-ma."

0:02:28.460,0:02:30.980
Babbling is starting to[br]sound more speech-like

0:02:30.980,0:02:36.170
with many different sounds,[br]including P, B and M.

0:02:36.170,0:02:37.084
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:02:37.084,0:02:38.000
[LAUGHING]

0:02:38.000,0:02:39.500
They're laughing.

0:02:39.500,0:02:43.070
They're vocalizing their[br]excitement, and sometimes,

0:02:43.070,0:02:45.110
their displeasure.

0:02:45.110,0:02:49.540
Growling, trilling,[br]squealing-- speech

0:02:49.540,0:02:52.900
is becoming a game, as well[br]as a way to communicate.

0:02:52.900,0:02:54.310
Anna, look!

0:02:54.310,0:02:57.430
Babies are moving their eyes[br]in the direction of sounds.

0:02:57.430,0:02:59.080
They're watching conversations.

0:02:59.080,0:03:00.460
[BELL JINGLING]

0:03:00.460,0:03:02.507
They're noticing toys[br]that make sounds--

0:03:02.507,0:03:03.340
[XYLOPHONE CLANGING]

0:03:03.340,0:03:06.610
--and they're starting to listen[br]to music with a different kind

0:03:06.610,0:03:08.950
of purpose.

0:03:08.950,0:03:12.340
From seven to ten months[br]is the canonical stage.

0:03:12.340,0:03:16.547
Babbling has both long and[br]short groups of sounds.

0:03:16.547,0:03:17.920
"La.

0:03:17.920,0:03:19.210
La, la, la."

0:03:19.210,0:03:23.020
They're using non-crying sounds[br]to get and keep your attention.

0:03:23.020,0:03:25.250
"Aah!"

0:03:25.250,0:03:27.850
This is when you'll see[br]babies do things like cough--

0:03:27.850,0:03:28.540
[COUGHING]

0:03:28.540,0:03:30.250
--and then if you[br]notice, they'll

0:03:30.250,0:03:33.100
cough again to keep[br]getting your attention.

0:03:33.100,0:03:34.705
They use gestures[br]to communicate,

0:03:34.705,0:03:38.710
and they're imitating many[br]different speech sounds.

0:03:38.710,0:03:40.750
From seven months[br]to a year, they're

0:03:40.750,0:03:42.880
enjoying games like peekaboo.

0:03:42.880,0:03:45.830
These are the games that teach[br]the rhythm of conversation.

0:03:45.830,0:03:47.080
Can I get it?

0:03:47.080,0:03:47.650
"Da."

0:03:47.650,0:03:50.380
They're really listening[br]when you speak to them.

0:03:50.380,0:03:51.460
Can you roll it to me?

0:03:51.460,0:03:54.413
And they're beginning to[br]respond to simple requests--

0:03:54.413,0:03:55.330
Where's your elephant?

0:03:55.330,0:03:58.720
--and they're recognizing[br]words for common objects.

0:03:58.720,0:04:00.610
Can I have it?

0:04:00.610,0:04:04.210
The variegated babble[br]stage is the very last step

0:04:04.210,0:04:06.730
for real words.

0:04:06.730,0:04:08.890
From 11 to 12[br]months, we're hearing

0:04:08.890,0:04:11.830
varied babble and gibberish[br]that has the rhythms

0:04:11.830,0:04:13.390
and patterns of speech.

0:04:13.390,0:04:15.740
[BABBLING]

0:04:15.740,0:04:18.430
In fact, you'd almost think[br]they were really talking.

0:04:18.430,0:04:20.620
[BABBLING]

0:04:20.620,0:04:22.720
What happened?

0:04:22.720,0:04:24.640
Often, parents will[br]say to us, "It's

0:04:24.640,0:04:26.530
like he's speaking[br]a foreign language!

0:04:26.530,0:04:29.140
It sounds so much[br]like conversation."

0:04:29.140,0:04:33.520
[BABBLING]

0:04:33.520,0:04:37.340
Finally, around the[br]very first birthday,

0:04:37.340,0:04:38.940
baby has one or two words.

0:04:38.940,0:04:39.930
Bye!

0:04:39.930,0:04:40.770
Bye.

0:04:40.770,0:04:44.400
Although it might take a[br]little while before the sounds

0:04:44.400,0:04:46.560
are really clear.

0:04:46.560,0:04:48.100
Every baby is different.

0:04:48.100,0:04:52.230
Some will hit their milestones[br]early, some a little bit later.

0:04:52.230,0:04:54.750
Others will be right on time.

0:04:54.750,0:04:57.690
Sometimes when your baby[br]is working on certain motor

0:04:57.690,0:05:00.060
milestones, there may[br]be a few days when

0:05:00.060,0:05:01.620
they're quieter than usual.

0:05:01.620,0:05:03.420
It's to be expected.

0:05:03.420,0:05:06.240
Most importantly, if[br]you're concerned--

0:05:06.240,0:05:08.880
if your baby seems to[br]be lagging behind--

0:05:08.880,0:05:10.890
you should talk to[br]your pediatrician,

0:05:10.890,0:05:13.800
and ask whether a referral[br]to a speech pathologist

0:05:13.800,0:05:15.300
would be a good idea.

0:05:15.300,0:05:19.680
In the meantime, talk to[br]your baby as much as you can.
