Should I speak to my 10-month-old in English?

[Wagapapa]

Hi everyone!

I have a ten month old baby who I always talk to in English. However, I am a native French and Arabic speaker.
My DH's mother tongue, on the other hand, is English.
I would like to introduce him to French and Arabic but am unsure as to how I should go about it.
I don't want to confuse him or create any potential speech delays.
Plus, my husband doesn't understand either languages and, since I'm with DS most of the day, I'm afraid my baby won't pick up English as fast (or not fully until he starts going to nursery anyways) and won't be able to communicate with my husband properly.

Am I overthinking it? Should I just stick to English for now, should I solely speak to him in French?

Speak in your own language to them. It'd an amazing skill to give your children: To be bilingual.
My sons are being raised bilingual (English and German). I speak only English and my husband only German. My eldest is 2.7 months and has no issues. It's really interesting watching him speak English to me then switch to German with his dad. His speech has always been fantastic but don't worry if your little ones take some time as it's normal with two languages. My son speaks more English at the moment but understands everything in German. He doesn't get stressed if he speaks English at nursery and his teacher doesn't understand, he starts to find other ways of saying it

My siblings and I are bilingual. We only spoke French at home (my mum didn't speak much english). We were not confused by the 2 languages at all.

Thinking about it now; prior to starting reception at age 4/5, I'm not even sure how we even learnt English. We never went to daycare or preschool because mum stayed at home with us full time. It must have been by watching tele or something.

The children don’t get confused. I am English and my dh is Spanish. My children are bilingual. They absolutely have no issues switching between the languages
I speak some Spanish but my French is better. I have taught my children French and they are progressing
It is definitely better to catch them when they are very young and have little choice but to lean the language. If you wait until they are older you will find that some kids will be receptive to learning your native language and others will not.
I think that (as others have said) you are giving him a wonderful gift..

DH is supposed to speak to DD in Arabic (Tounsie) but isn't very consistent. I can't speak his language so he really needs to step up. I want her to be able to speak to PIL, they don't speak English. They talk to DD on facetime regularly in Arabic.
Obviously I speak to DD in English.
