you want them to talk as bubs, but once they do they never shut up. Catch 22
ha ha ha!
My DH keeps saying I can't wait for our DD aged 1 to talk and I keep warning him to be careful what he wishes for!!!

You have already received some great advice here but I couldn't help thinking of something that came to my attention last week which may or may not be related to this, perhaps over chatting is a side effect of food additive intolerance???

It could be a long shot but I just watched a DVD of 'fed up' which is all about the effects of food additives in children who are intolerant to them and it was eye opening to say the least - much more than red food colouring makes kids hyper. If you get increasingly desperate, it may be worth a look !
