Q. What is "Parentese"?

A. "It’s not baby-talk or made-up speech. Instead, it’s the way you talk to your baby — the sounds your voice makes, the intonation, and how clearly you speak. To speak parentese you need to slow down, exaggerating vowels and upping intonation. Real vocabulary is more than acceptable: It’s necessary." http://ow.ly/oCi730neE7i
