It’s okay – your face is not that funny. Your baby just loves to see your face close up. Less than 12 inches away, your wee one gets a good look at your facial features and movements.

They can see how your lips move to make sounds. When your go ‘oooh’, your lips make a round shape. When you make a ‘b’ or ‘p’ sound, your lips close then open. Try it in a mirror and you will be quite surprised at what they see.
