Speaking to your baby in proper English with a different inflection is better for your baby's language development than typical baby speak.

This comes from CTV, who says the method is called true baby talk. It's essentially just speaking to a baby slower, with a kinder inflection all while using correct grammar all while sounding happy. It's also known as "parentese", and it is better for a baby's speech development than stereotypical baby talk.

In a video provided, a baby is shown both traditional "googoo gaga" and "parentese" coming from different directions at different times. While the baby reacts to both whenever they speak, after a few rounds, he begins showing preference to the side that's using real words.

"The more parents naturally use parentese in their homes when speaking to their children, the better and faster those language skills develop," says the co-director of University of Washington's Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences, Patricia Kuhl, "So, it turns out that parentese is a social catalyst for language. It gets kids not just listening but talking."

According to Kuhl, it comes down to how the baby's brain works in reaction to words. When parents speak parentese, the parts of the brain that handle auditory information light up along with the parts of the brain that also handle speaking. It's almost as if this way of talking to a baby encourages a baby's natural desire to respond.

The benefits of this reaction can be seen in a more in-depth study conducted by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), who assigned parents to a group that were either coached on how to speak parentese or one where they were not. Each group took into account families with multiple siblings, along with other factors in the household. They found that children whose parents were coached developed the ability to say simple words twice as fast as those who were not. Not only that, but the babies in the coached group had an average vocabulary of around 100 words. That's about 40 more words than the group of children whose parents were not coached.

Normally, when speaking to a baby, parents have a tendency to speak with improper grammar while making up words in place of real ones. While it may seem harmless, the more studies that surface regarding parentese, the more it may seem like it could be a hindrance.
