From birth, babies can take part in conversations like these. It's important to pause after you've spoken to them to allow them time to respond in some way, either using their voice, body movements or facial expressions.
Games like peek-a-boo provide a wonderful opportunity for all important face-to-face time. Babies also love being gently surprised and you'll see that Ellie really enjoys playing peek-a-boo with her mum.
