May 15th, 2008 Rookie Moms book giveaway Posted by Melitsa in Good reads, play activities, Roundups

Stuck on baby play ideas?

Play-activities for babies? Singing, talking, changing them positions. There are so many things you can do with a baby. It’s not about hot housing them and trying to get them to do things before their appropriate developmental stage but instead stimulating, calming and soothing them into the world.

Baby play-activities encourage bonding and set the stage for play interaction as they get older. The best advice is to get outside and walk with your baby whatever the weather. It’s great for your mental health and the baby will enjoy the change of scene.
