It is important to spend fun time with your baby every day. Your baby looks forward to having this time with you. She needs to be loved, cuddled, talked to and played with. If she spends the day with a sitter or in day care, this time alone with you is even more important. You can use this time to play games with her. Here are some games to play:
You can help her crawl by placing pillows around the floor and showing her how to move around them.
You can sit with her while she takes toys out of a box and then puts them back in. Name each toy as she puts them in and takes them out.
You can show her pictures of animals and make animal sounds for her.
Hold your baby in front of a mirror or a window. Let her enjoy what she sees.
Sit with her in a rocking chair. Tell her you love her. Read her a story.
Talk or sing to her.
The important thing is to spend time with your baby. Even chores like bathing and feeding your baby can be turned into fun and learning games. She looks forward to being with you each day. She loves your touch and attention.
