How does bilingual exposure affect my baby's language development?
Research consistently shows that bilingualism does NOT cause confusion or language delays — this is a debunked myth. Babies can distinguish between two languages from birth and benefit from enhanced problem-solving and cognitive flexibility. A solid base in the heritage language actually helps children learn the majority language better later. Use the 'one parent, one language' approach or designate specific times for each language. Discuss bilingual milestones with your pediatrician.
