what communication abilities do infants have before they can talk?
From the moment of birth, babies begin to communicate. At first, your newborn's cries may seem like a foreign language. But before you know it, you'll learn your baby's language and be able to answer your little one's needs. Babies are born with the ability to cry, which is how they communicate for a while. Your baby's cries generally tell you that something is wrong: an empty belly, a wet bottom, cold feet, being tired, or a need to be held and cuddled, etc.
