So you at home with baby after you have fed, cleaned and
the baby has slept what do I do now? that a good question and one which will test
you like on other. The answer to the question is play simple but How to play?
It is not as straight forward as you may think
however it is one of the most important things you can
do
The second month
As children enter the second
month of life, they become noticeably more interested in the world around
them. While they don’t “play” in the way that we often think of—pushing
trains around a track or feeding a baby doll—they are eager to explore the
objects and interact with the people they see every day. At this age,
play is not just about toys, it’s about back-and-forth interactions—anything
from singing a song to your baby as you change his diaper, to cooing and
smiling back and forth with him. Loving and playful experiences like
these help your baby learn.
Some get lots and lots of toys with lots of noise and
flashing light these are not so good for your child and will drive you nuts to
best to put away those things. Singing, talking, feeling and touching will do a
lot more for your baby development. Turn off the TV please, have so light music
on in the background take time to look at your baby
Reading to your little one
from now is most important the more you read to them the better it will be for
you . So get your favorite book’s that you like as a child and just read to
them it works wonder’s
Just don’t leave the baby in the Conner in a play pen as you go off to
do something take baby with you
Parents may find themselves confused about their babies’ responses as they
play. It’s not uncommon to wonder: We were having so much fun a
minute ago, and now he’s crying. What happened? It may be that your
baby reached his limit for stimulation and was telling you he needed a
break. Babies have their own individual ways of responding to
stimulation—light, sound, touch, and activity. Some can take in a lot of
stimulation before they top out and become distressed. Other babies get
overwhelmed very quickly by what may seem to be just a small amount of
stimulation (like brightening the lights in the room.) There’s no right
or wrong way to be. A baby’s ability to manage stimulation is based on his
unique wiring.
Some common “I need a break” signals include:
- turning his head away
- arching his back
- closing his eyes or falling asleep
- crying
- fussing or making “fussy” sounds
- hiccupping
When you see these kinds of signals, try giving your baby a rest for a little bit. Put aside his toys and perhaps rock and sing quietly to him. If that’s still too much, just hold him. And keep in mind that even eye contact can be very stimulating for young babies, so just snuggling him against your chest may feel best to him. It’s all about trial and error.
It isn’t about games and toys – it’s about the back-and-forth interactions between you and your baby. That’s why it’s enjoyable – it’s only play if it’s fun.
