bilingual household

I come from a bilingual household - my husband's family is French and mine is Italian. We want our baby to grow up speaking both languages (in addition to English). When is it the right time to start?

From what I've read that if you both talk to her in your native languages, she'll learn both and naturally learn who to talk to in what language. Her language development may be a bit slower over all, but learning three languages will be so great. We all speak English here, I'm so jealous. What a gift!
