When you’ve got nothing important to say – why not say it anyway! Small talk is perfect for a wee chat. The weather, the footie, the soaps… talk about anything, any time. Have fun.

You can use 'small talk' just to tell to your baby what's happening: "I'm putting on your nappy. We’re off to the shops. We’re going to visit granny.” To your baby, this is important breaking news. You could even say what they're doing too: "Look! You're smiling!"
