BABY PLAY - 1 month old

I would like to share some tried and proven techniques in achieving baby's developmental milestones.

This is all that we have tried for Amudhan and we are doing with Charmika paapa as well 😊😊

A blur and out of focus images is how a New Born sees the world. How do you connect with a person who is disconnected from the visible world. 

How do you provide proper simulation for their brains to adapt and grow. Fun and easy ways to connect with the baby. Learning the world together.

They are not going to talk , but they are listening to you. When you say , 'Are you hungry' and pause for a second ,

1. They try to gravitate towards the toy that they like. This gives a connective touch to eye movement sensory.

2. Facetime - Get close to them and allow them to study your face. One thing that tends to make them engaged is a 'Face'. Usually a baby recognises the mother's face soon or to a voice that is familiar to the baby all through your pregnancy. Stay close to the baby and give baby the time to read and follow your face. This way you are simulating the baby's visual experience and their perceptual ability.

3. Sight - At this stage , baby finds it easier to see high contrast black and white toys. Move those toys or flash cards around the baby and observe the baby's eye and head movements.

4. Rattles and small jingling sounds - Make your baby expose to small ratlling sounds .At this point , baby will not be able to zero in on the position of the toys by hearing its sound. But make a habit to introduce different sound patterns to the baby.

5. Tummy Time - Relax the baby and give as much as tummy time as you can. This soothes the baby and helps in digestion.

6. Gaining Spatial awareness - Give your baby uninterrupted time to recognise and study their hands and the ways their arms and legs move. This helps them recognise spatial concepts like distance.

7. Show them different parts of your room and introduce different colours. Take them close to some bright objects and make them sense the movement of objects - This increases the child's IQ and their vocabulary range as they get older.

8. Developing baby's language center - Initiate a conversation and give time to respond to your question.
