Ep 4: Communication and Language with Lucy Darby

What are meaningful words? How can you make the most of the words you are saying to your baby? In this fourth instalment of Your companion to Motherhood, we have communication and language specialist Lucy Darby- founder of Talking Lab. Lucy has been a speech and language therapist for 5 years having worked for the NHS she now runs her own company helping parents to communicate with their little ones in the best way possible. Lucy has a 16-month-old daughter called Silver. In this episode, you’ll hear the techniques Lucy shares professionally and how she practices what she preaches with Sliver. You’ll hear how giving your baby choice over small things in their daily life will allow them to be great communicators and Lucy also covers how signing fits into the journey of your little one learning to talk. And Lucy answers some very interesting questions from mums on Mush. This is your Companion to Motherhood. These episodes are designed to provide you with detailed information on the various steps in the first six months of motherhood which you can listen to while you're feeding, changing, during nap time and just going about your day to day tasks. Think of it like a conversation with a friend who has been there before.
