Have you noticed how your child uses sounds or gestures to communicate?
Gestures are an important part of your baby’s non-verbal communication.

From around 9 months, babies start using gestures to show they understand and to connect with you. Waving, pointing, or lifting their arms to be picked up. These are all ways your baby expresses themself.

👉 What gestures have you noticed from your baby? Share in the comments!
