Baby language development books? The internet says so many different things—what's the truth?

It's best not to get too hung up on language development books. Babies learn words from daily interaction, not from books. Reading to your baby is certainly very valuable—picture books with short sentences and cardboard pages are great. But books that promise "this many words by this month" behind them aren't realistic; every baby develops at their own pace.
The amount of speech a baby hears in daily life affects language development more than any book. Your conversations, narrating what you're doing ("Now I'm changing your diaper, look—you lifted your arm"), simple and repetitive speech—these are what actually teach.
If you want to choose books, go for ones age-appropriate with big pictures, short text; the rest is completed by your voice and attention. How old is your baby?
