Singing songs and nursery rhymes to your baby can help with language development and bonding. You can also incorporate hand motions or actions to make it more interactive.
Provide your baby with different textures to explore, such as soft blankets, crinkly paper, or smooth fabrics. This can help with sensory development.
Babies love looking at faces, so show them their reflection in a mirror. This can help with self-recognition and social development.
Encourage your baby to spend time on their tummy to help strengthen their neck and back muscles. You can place toys or a mirror in front of them to keep them entertained.
Fill a clear plastic bottle with items like rice, beans, or small toys and secure the lid. Babies can shake the bottle and watch the items move inside, which can be calming and entertaining.
Even young babies can benefit from being read to. Choose books with bright pictures and simple stories, and let your baby touch and explore the book as you read.
Hold your baby securely and dance around the room to music. This can be a fun way to bond and get some gentle exercise.
