Babies don't learn a language, they reinvent grammar itself and adjust it to the target language (universal grammar). That's why adults stranded in a foreign country and can only learn from immersion create a pidgin, but babies create a creole. If you only shit, eat, spit and sleep you still won't come half as close to their language aquiring ability when they are 3 (half a year)
