Optimistic, sometimes to the point of naivety

Diane W Bales — Child Life Program Director at, professor, and extension human development specialist — strongly recommends talking to your baby, calling it “the most important step you can take.”

“Some parents feel silly talking to a baby who can't answer them,” Bales writes. “But your baby is listening to your speech and learning from it even before he can respond with words of his own.”Other baffled users joked that they even talk to their pets.“Girl I talk to my cat," one user wrote. "I have always talked to my kids even when they were still in utero. How can you not talk to your baby? Poor kid. It’s one way you form a bond with your child.”

Since then, the user has posted several videos talking to her baby, adding more context to her original clip.she tells the infant that they "have to give the people what they want."

"They keep saying, ‘Have you talked to your daughter yet?’ I never said I never talk to you, I just said sometimes it's awkward," the mom explains.
