Provide consistent “routine talk” from day to day for a variety of activities. Each day when it's lunchtime say, “It's lunchtime... time to eat!” so the infants associate that specific phrase with the time of day and the action. At diaper changing, sing to the tune of “Bear Hunt”:

It's time to change your diaper,

it's time to change your diaper,

let's get you dry, let's get you dry.
