Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the developmental stages of infant communication, which typically progress from reflexive sounds to more intentional vocalizations.
Identify the earliest types of communicative sounds infants produce, starting with reflexive crying and then moving to more controlled sounds.
Recognize that 'cooing' refers to the early vowel-like sounds infants make, usually around 6 to 8 weeks of age, which are the first intentional vocalizations.
Differentiate 'cooing' from 'babbling,' which involves repetitive consonant-vowel combinations and occurs later, around 4 to 6 months.
Note that 'saying their first word' and 'telegraphic speech' happen much later in development, typically after the first year.
