How to Boost Your Baby's Language Skills from Day One with The Speech Sisters

Author: Liesel Teen August 27, 2025 Duration: 33:49

Ever wonder how you can help your little one start building language skills from the very beginning?

In this episode, I'm joined by The Speech Sisters, two speech-language pathologists and moms who are passionate about helping parents support their baby's communication journey. 

We're chatting about what's normal in those early months, how to spot red flags, and easy ways to make everyday moments language-rich.

Whether your baby is in your belly, cooing, babbling, or starting to say words, you'll walk away with practical tips you can use right away!


Liesel Teen, a labor and delivery nurse, hosts Mommy Labor Nurse as a space for honest conversations about pregnancy and birth. Each episode is built on the idea that knowledge can transform fear into confidence for expecting parents. You’ll find a mix of practical, evidence-based discussions on common pregnancy topics, along with interviews featuring a range of birth professionals who share their insights. Perhaps most powerfully, the podcast includes personal birth stories that capture the vast spectrum of real-life experiences, from straightforward deliveries to more complex situations. It’s a resource designed to inform and empower, offering perspectives that help listeners prepare for their own journeys. Remember, the content here is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for personalized medical advice from your own care provider. Join Liesel for these weekly conversations that aim to support you through one of life’s most significant transitions.
