The stimulation of the newborn starts from the moment he is born and smells his mother, listens to his voice and feels the warmth of his skin. Although we see our baby a few months so tiny, there are many games.
During the first months of life, the baby needs, above all, stimuli for his five senses: touch, hearing, sight, smell and even taste. There are many stimulation games that parents can do with our child at this stage. Of course, if we see that our little one gets tired or cries, it is better to leave it for another time. Games for the baby: in the arms of mom The main toy of the baby are his parents and in the first months and whenever possible, especially his mother. Being in the arms of mom and dad, listening to her voice, recognizing her smell, receiving her cuddles and cuddles ... are stimulation games that awaken the baby's curiosity for the world. Do not be afraid of holding your baby too long: it is never enough. Gently rocking, caressing, breastfeeding, offering your finger to hold with your hand are some of the activities that stimulate the baby's tactile sensations. Singing softly, laughing close to him, talking to him and telling him what he has around or what you are going to do next serves to develop the ear and intelligence of the newborn and helps the parents to strengthen the bond with him. Smile and make funny gestures while you hold him in your arms, with your face close to yours, about 25 or 30 centimeters: it is the distance you can best see until they are three months old, since before they do not focus their eyes. In the cradle In the first months of life, babies spend many hours in the crib. Most newborns spend between 16 and 17 hours a day sleeping, and little by little their waking time increases. The crib mobiles entertain them and provide visual and auditory stimuli. Soft dolls and stuffed animals stimulate their sense of touch, as well as crib gyms, which emit sounds when the baby kicks them and help them begin to discover cause-and-effect relationships. Change the crib toys from time to time, so you can continue discovering new stimuli. Until three or four months, children are not able to notice objects, but they do perceive movement, shapes and colors. In the baby jumper: Your baby can play various games in their jumper. It will also develop their motor skill. Lying on your stomach The proper posture for the baby to sleep is face up, since it has been shown that this position prevents sudden infant death. However, babies need to change their position daily to prevent deformation of their head and improve their muscle tone. This is why it is so important to place the baby on its stomach several times a day. It helps them to get a good extension of the spine and is the essential pre-phase so that later they can roll over or crawl. From four or six months, our little one will have enough strength to hold a small rattle or a toy. Put your baby upside down, with toys and colored objects and make sounds that catch your attention. He will look at them and try to catch them. Lie with him on the floor or in the bed, within reach of his sight and his height, and make him pampering and cuddling. The cuckoo, show him a toy and cover it with a cloth or a cushion and show it again, roll a sound toy so that he can follow it with his eyes or move a rattle near his head to turn it in that direction are other activities that you can do with him on the ground since he was very young and that will arouse his curiosity. In the bathroom The bathroom is a fantastic ritual prior to sleep, as it relaxes and entertains them. Feeling the water on your skin, safe in the hands of mom or dad, the aroma of soap and cream, the sound of water splashing, watching the foam or the toys that float and trying to catch them is a festival for the senses of the babies, also in the first months of life. It is not necessary that the bath is too long, even if it is daily if our son does not enjoy too much in the water, but soon it will become one of his favorite moments of the day, and more if we accompany the little boy in the bathtub with a massage relaxing before or after the bath.
