Do you talk to your babies in public

What a weirdo. I’ve always spoken to my girl, I pretty much used to narrate the day to her 🤣

He sounds like a grumpy loser - don't pay attention to him!

I talk to my boy 247! Walking round the shops narrating everything 😂 he babbles back a lot now he’s bigger. That man needs to get in the bin! Miserable s*d

My 20 mo is really good with her speech and I think it’s because I’ve always done this!!

I’ve always done it with both my girls lol

yes I do and have had baby waves of embarrassment when I lock eyes w a person😂🤣. I’ve been caught holding my 3 month old facing an item in the store talking about you see all the colors etc😭😂

I've always talked to mine and narrated what we're doing. You'd be surprised at how much they take in.
I wouldn't pay him much mind. He sounds grumpy af over something that doesn't affect him in the slightest 🤦🏽‍♀️

He is just an ignorant 🤦🏽‍♀️

How is your baby going to learn if you’re not narrating your day?! We chat all day and he babbles back I love it I talk to the dog too 😂

He’s probably got no kids and even if he had kids they’re probably adult now and the bulk of parenting was left to his wife 🙄 ignore him. I talk to my baby like he’s an adult so no baby voice either lol and they are always constantly learning you’d be surprised by how much they actually do understand. If I’m not talking to my baby I’m talking to someone into my AirPods lol which look like I’m talking to myself 😂

Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do to help them learn to talk? What an idiot, he clearly has no idea. How rude of him, I hope this doesn’t make you change - keep doing what you’re doing xx

I speak to my daughter and usually so does everyone else around me, even if they’re strangers (she is a show off and will smile at everyone to get their attention ahahaha)

And if you dont talk to them, youre ignoring your child 🙄🙄 cannae win

Let me guess he buggered off without giving you a chance to reply. Moody wanker. I talked to all mine out in public like what am I gonna do ignore them. Weird geezer.

Men forever in women’s business. Annoying creatures.

I would have been like and at your big age no one can understand you. Tuh
If only his mother talked to him more

😂 how else do babies learn to talk??

How rude!!!!

I even talk to my dog 😆

I had someone approach me and say ‘they’re so little aren’t they’ and fukin touched my babies blanket ..GET THE FUCK OFF THE BLANKET

Literally everyone talks to their babies. It’s how they learn to talk.

What a jerk

Thanks ladies ❤️I was finally feeling confident out the house with the baby and it really threw me off 😢

Yes, you’re suppose to talk to babies. Some ppl are just miserable.

What an ass. Wow

aw don’t let it bother you! I love to see parents talking to babies. I’d imagine you’d get more hate if you were sat looking at your phone and not paying your baby any attention…! Xx

Just because they don't understand doesn't mean they will in the future, us talking to them is exactly how they learn to talk. How does he expect your baby to learn??
I absolutely love parents who talk to their children, it's so much better then just sticking them in a buggy and pretending they don't exist

I feel sorry for his kids if he has any.

Babies really benefit from being spoken to. It helps their language development and understanding. And it’s great way to bond with your child.

They’re not plastic dolls, the man is so ignorant and miserable

I do nothing BUT yap to my daughter 😂 constantly giving her a running commentary on everything I’m doing!

Bet he doesn’t have children then

“CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS, BITCH!” 🖕

What a twat

I have a whole conversation with my daughter. I have done since the day she was born. Doesn’t matter where I am. I’ll be walking down the street and I’ll talk to her and describe what’s around her or what I’m doing around the house x

Im a sahm and my kids are my besties. I've always talked to them constantly no matter their age. Its great for their brain development and my sanity 🤣

Ignore the man. It’s the best thing you can do for language development!

Honestly I’m a teacher and talking to your child (alongside reading) are honestly the best things you can do. I was shocked by how many people I met didn’t just dictate their day to their babies just to stay sane like me 😂

All the time. I make my kids laugh and my older one help me pick out groceries and put them in the cart.

That man is an asshat

He is an ass! They do understand you. They understand the tone in your voice, the connection in that moment, your mood, your respect for them, and the love you are sharing. Plus, the more you talk to them, the quicker they understand the meanings to your words.

I've always talked to my daughter and she was speaking short sentences at 18 months and having conversations by her 2nd birthday. I don't think it's fair to be rude to the guy like a lot of people, but I don't know what tone he used when saying it. That honestly sounds exactly like something my autistic teenage brother would say haha. He just doesn't understand babies and toddlers and has always been awkward around my daughter. He's never held her. We asked and he said no. Anyway, it's definitely normal to talk to your baby, but the guy may have not been being malicious on purpose.

Oh wow, what an arse! You do you... I'm in the same club, I walk along pointing out everything to my baby. No idea if she cares but, I'm doing it anyway 🤣

I do it all the time as it makes my boy smile

How does he think babies learn to talk?

I personally have always found “milkies” to be cringe, but you do you.

Talking to your baby is totally normal. Hearing your voice is calming, and this is how they learn language

Wow what an ass!! I have a 21 month old and a 3 month old an im constantly chatting to them when out an about.

That’s rude of him, how else are children going to learn how to speak .

ya i just tell people it’s good for their development to talk to them even though they don’t understand and they usually shut up lol

Lmaoooo
My 11 month old was babbling to me last night while I was gaming with some friends and in response I said “Yeah, I know. The economy is in shambles, I totally agree.”

Babies can understand you know

What a sad little man! I always talked to mine when he was a tiny baby especially when doing the food shop! I would ask which bloody biscuits we should get! I woman once turned to me and said ‘oh I’m sorry I thought you were asking me?’ Saw him at merely 5 months old and said…’I love it when parents talk to their little ones it’s adorable and hearing your voice is probably so comforting in such a loud and strange place’

My baby is two years old now so obviously he understands everything I’m saying. But I’ve been talking to him since he was a newborn! I think it’s important to build that one of your kids early and have them very familiar with your voice. Don’t ever feel ashamed for talking to your child!

Talking to babies is the norm. Would you just keep mute all the time?!
