A recent study found that babies’ ability to match speech to faces predicted their future language abilities (Edgar, Todd, & Bahrick, 2023).

The study, which followed 103 children from age three months to 36 months, found that six month olds who were more accurate at matching a spoken language to the correct speaker spoke more at 18 and 24 months, and had larger vocabularies as late as age 3. This skill is called “intersensory processing,” or connecting different senses together.

Researchers suggested that being more advanced in this skill allows infants to focus on learning other skills sooner and learn more from social interactions, enriching their language development.

Putting together a meal or snack that’s tasty and has variety can sometimes feel overwhelming. How do you pull something together that’s going to be pleasing to your taste buds, give you energy for right now, give you nutrients that your body needs, and keep you feeling full until the next time you eat? It actually doesn’t need to be complicated if you use a simple framework: For each meal or snack, aim to include a source of carbohydrate, protein, fiber, and fat.

When each of these is present, your meal or snack will have a mixture of flavors, textures, nutrients, and energy sources that will leave you feeling satisfied. Each part of this meal and snack structure does something different for our bodies.

See post for more information and always contact your pediatrician with any questions or concerns regarding your child's nutrition.
