Babies recognize mom and dad’s voices from birth and it makes them feel secure when they hear your voice, so sing to your baby as often as you can.  Sing your favorite song or a familiar nursery rhyme like itsy bitsy spider. This is a simple way for you to calm your baby and entertain him as well as build his language skills.
