Speech
A part of the brain-
Wernicke's area is located in the temporal lobe and it plays a critical role in the ability to understand meaningful speech.
It is very important that you read with your baby . You should also wean your baby from a pacifier beginning at 9 months. The pacifier prevents speech and language development. When you speak with your baby she will begin to repeat what you say but if she has a pacifier in her mouth she will not be able to make the sounds that are needed before she speaks . If she gets to be 24 months and she is not saying words she will be referred for speech therapy. This is very costly and also will keep your daughter behind . Your baby understands once you are consistent, patient and allow time for her to learn the concept.
It is best to get it right the first time.It is very difficult to rewire a brain.
