How to play with a newborn
It doesn't matter if you are the infant's parent or an extended relative, it is vital that you learn how to play with them. It can also be a great way to bond with your baby and spend quality time together!
How to entertain a Newborn
The first rule of play is to meet your baby at their level. Your newborn shouldn't be expected to grasp and pick up new toys. Instead, make sure the toys are as interactive and fun as possible.
To entertain a newborn, you can place them on your belly and allow them to move around. This helps strengthen their neck muscles and gets them ready to roll over. It also helps to build their arm- and leg muscles which will be useful when they learn how to walk.
Tummy Time for Newborns
To strengthen your baby's arms, legs and hands, it is a good idea to place them on their stomachs. It stimulates their senses and helps them to keep their head straight.
Tummy time is also a great way to get them used to lying down, which will help when they learn to crawl!
To do tummy time, place an object 6-12 inches in front of your newborn's face and very slowly move it an inch or two in the direction that they are looking. This will help them learn to follow moving objects with their eyes (called visual tracking).
Use facial expressions
Babies enjoy copying their parents' facial movements and love to observe them. Babies love to stick out their tongues and raise their eyebrows. This is an excellent way to teach your children facial expressions. It will also help you build your facial muscles which will come in handy when they learn how to speak.
Books
Children will enjoy a book with pictures of familiar pets, animals and people. Take a look at the book together, and then name each image.
Massage
Massage is a great activity for your baby. Massaging your baby's neck, shoulders, and neck gently using light pressure or motion is a great way to get them moving. This stimulates circulation and digestion.
Music and Songs
Research suggests that newborns can recognize music they were exposed to regularly in the womb. You can play some of the songs they were exposed to in the womb for them to engage their brains.
Face Time
Face time with their caregiver or parent is the most enjoyable form of play. They love to gaze at faces that are open to them, who are friendly and smiling, and to hear their thoughts.
They like to hear sounds they've never heard before, such a baby's cry or your voice.
Singing can be an entertaining way to entertain your baby. Sing simple nursery songs together or talk about the meanings of the songs.
