I often hear people talking in the third person to their kids, adding “ies” to the end of words, and raising their pitch. Surely this is detrimental to the kid learning to speak? Wouldn’t speaking normally be a better option?
Example: “Do you want mummy to take you to the fishies? Do you want mummy to do that?”

There’s actually been research to show that it’s better to speak to babies like this because they respond to it more.
