Any speech and language pathologist or other developmental specialist up to date in the current field will tell you that speaking "infantese/motherese" is beneficial for babies. They learn the cadence, the rhythm, the structure of language that way. Nothing you should feel even slightly bad about.

I was going to say that to the claim of some here that "if you speak baby language your kid will" so thanks for the proof.

I speak a bit of baby talk but not enough. I try to speak more since I know it is good for the baby. I can even see that my baby loves it. Oh and btw I have a sister who is always cooing and babling to her kids from day 1, and they are the most verbal kids youve ever met.
