Today we're going to talk about 10 words and phrases for babies and small Children.

The first word is newborn newborn, so we use this word to talk about a baby that has been born very recently.

So a newborn baby it's an adjective like this is a newborn child or the newborn creature.

We can use this for words other than human Children like a newborn calf, for example.

So a newborn, a newborn baby brand new baby in a sentence.

I saw my friends newborn baby last week, Baby, the next word is baby, baby, So a baby is just a small human.

But baby, I feel like would really the line between like baby and child is I don't know exactly where that line is or we're exactly where that line falls.

But We'll talk about a word kind of between baby and child in just a moment.

But a baby really means like that, that stage of life where maybe they really need someone else to do absolutely everything so they can't walk.

They're just They're just they're babies.

A baby can do pretty much nothing except like cry and processed food like That's pretty much it, I suppose.

Is that initial that initial phase of life of human life?

We call those tiny humans babies in a sentence.

The next word is toddler Toddler, so you'll see the word toddle.

Toddle is a verb, which means like, to walk Unsteadily.

So we have this word toddler, which we used to mean small Children that have just gained the ability to walk So they're not steady.

I imagine maybe like one and 1/2 to 2 years old, perhaps I'm not sure, but a small human who has just learned howto walk is called a toddler, a toddler so This is the word we use between, like baby and like, a child or kid.

The next expression is something something, months old, months old.

So when babies are new, we often track their growth in months, or maybe even in weeks.

So instead of using an expression like my baby is zero years old or something like that, especially in this in that first period in that first period of time just after the baby is born, um well, often use months old, so she's six months old or he's nine months old or like 13 months old.

So in those first few months or in the first, maybe even year or two parents or people talking about babies might use months old instead of years old to talk about their Children or a child, uh, somewhere so innocent.

The next word is diaper diaper, So diapers are used, of course, for babies who do not have the ability to use the toilet by themselves yet so diapers are think very important.

Eso These are the o often disposable disposable means you can throw them away.

Or maybe they're like washable diapers as well.

So I suppose each family has a different approach to that, but a diaper.

Special underwear for babies so that everybody can have a happier time, I imagine.

So this is a word that adults can use two?

So, like in the afternoon or maybe the evening?

Any time you take a short sleep, we call that a nap and afternoon nap.

Like I don't know, an hour, 30 minutes or an hour arrest is called a nap.

So babies sometimes take naps or I think babies need lots of naps.

Bottle So the next word is bottle bottle.

You'll see that this word is spelled B o T T l E bottle, but we don't use a strong tea sound.

We use kind of more of a D sound bottle bottle.

It's that thing that you use, just as you would use like a water bottle.

Here we say, Ah, we used bottle for the thing that we give babies, you know, to give babies food or to give well to give babies their milk.

Whatever it is that baby's consumed like we only use the word bottle.

So although this is technically a bottle, we would say like we would say water bottle for this.

But if we just use the word bottle, it means the one that babies you.

So that means I need to feed the baby, in other words, using this thing this bottle.

I forgot the baby's bottle sent the dunk formula.

The next word is formula formula So sometimes, maybe parents choose to give their Children what's called formula, so it's kind of it's a to my understanding.

It's a mixture that has lots of vitamins and nutrients in it that is used like in the baby's bottle.

So, like it, it's like similar to milk in my understanding.

Essentially, it's food for the baby, but we call it formula formula.

So the baby's formula is filled with vitamins and nutrients and other good things to help babies grow, presumably in a sentence.

What do you think about using formula teasing?
