Baby talk or child-directed speech (CDS) is a type of speech associated with an older person speaking to an infant, toddler or very young child. CDS is characterized by a "sing song" pattern of intonation that differentiates it from the more monotone style used with other adults e.g., CDS has higher and wider pitch, slower speech rate and shorter utterances.
