Flashlight Fun!
Infants respond to high-contrast patterns (e.g., black on white). The youngest babies see shapes by looking to see where light and dark lines meet. This simple game will help your little one focus on a shape with his eyes.
My Baby’s First Conversations!
As a newborn, your infant’s communication consists mainly of cries and burps! However, it is not long before he starts making noises and sounds that are close to the sounds you make as you talk (coos and oohs). As you react to these sounds your infant makes, you will have your first “conversations” with your little one.
Look at You!
Use a baby-safe mirror or even your bathroom mirror to provide a fun time for your baby to see, hear and feel the coos that are coming out of his cute little mouth!
Tummy to Play
When your infant is able to lift her chest when placed on her stomach and starts to hold her head up steadily, you can provide supervised tummy time each day. This will help to develop the neck and shoulder muscle strength she will need to roll over, sit up and crawl, and helps to develop her hands through weight bearing.
