Baby talk stunts the development of infants and makes them STUPID. You then spend the next 3 years trying to get rid of those Idiotic speech impediments! Stop it!!!
‘Fraid not. Baby talk helps babies sort out from the babble messages and emotions that are directed at them. It’s a part of the way we learn and teach language. At a minimum, it can function as an attention-focuser; it can also be useful in communicating with certain other animals.

NONSENSE.
I know couples that have babies speaking perfect english at 18 months and they did it by starting EARLY with pronunciation! . Smarter too.
