After all, this adorable new baby phase will not come back, and you don\u2019t want to feel like you missed out on some fun with your little one! <\/p>\r\n<p>Read on to know how you can engage your baby and make it an enjoyable time for both of you.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<section class=\"weeks-wrap\">\r\n<div class=\"container\">\r\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center align-items-center\">\r\n<div class=\"col-md-10 col-lg-10\">\r\n<div class=\"weeks-img \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danone.in\/aptaclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Inner-Page-Image-5.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid desktop-banner\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-10 col-lg-10\">\r\n<div class=\"weeks-cont samesec\">\r\n<h3>Play, play\u2026 and did we mention play?<\/h3>\r\n<p>Here are some of the things you can do to engage with your newborn in the first month or so of his life:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Introduce age-appropriate toys: Don\u2019t go all out and buy out the first toy shop you see! What your baby needs are simple, age-appropriate toys such as musical toys or play gyms. Select toys that stimulate his senses and encourage him to learn. Try toys with contrasting colors and patterns to help improve your baby\u2019s vision. A cot mobile is also a good way to entertain your baby.<\/li>\r\n<li>Sing to your baby: There\u2019s nothing better your baby likes at this stage than to hear your \u2013 his mother\u2019s \u2013 voice! Softly sing his favorite lullaby or any gentle tune that will soothe him. <\/li>\r\n<li>Massage your baby: Just like your baby loves your voice, he also loves your touch. Use this playtime to gently massage your baby. Move his hands and legs in a soothing rhythm that he not only enjoys but is great bonding for you both. Don\u2019t forget to speak or sing to your baby while doing this! <\/li>\r\n<li>Read to your baby: It\u2019s never too early to get your little one his first book! Since their vision develops rather slowly, get picture books with high contrast, such as black and white images. This helps stimulate his developing senses.<\/li>\r\n<li>Introduce sensory play: Introduce your little one to games that involve touch and textures. Move his little hands, feet, fingers, and toes as you go along. Another good option is to make bath time interactive, with brightly colored bath toys and splashing around in the water!<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"col-md-10 col-lg-10\">\r\n<div class=\"weeks-cont samesec\">\r\n<h3>Tips to make playtime with your newborn fun<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Remember that your newborn will tire easily and that the initial phase of his life is all about his sleep! He\u2019ll be responsive in small bursts, so prepare activities that won\u2019t stretch longer than 10-15 minutes.<\/li>\r\n<li>For your baby to respond, he needs to be comfortable. Make sure, then, that he is fed and changed. A happy baby translates into a playful one, eager to learn and respond!<\/li>\r\n<li>Use this time to bond with your baby. In fact, if you live with extended family, now\u2019s a great time for them to interact (and maybe pamper!) your little one. After all, grandparents love to indulge their grandkids, don\u2019t they? <\/li>\r\n<li>Don\u2019t overcomplicate things. Keep playtime simple, yet engaging.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Enjoy your time with your little one!<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<!-- \/row --><\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<section class=\"refrence-wrap\">\r\n<div class=\"container\">\r\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\r\n<div class=\"col-md-10 col-lg-10\">\r\n<div class=\"refrence-links\">\r\n<h3>References:<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aptaclub.co.uk\/baby\/bonding-and-development\/first-fun.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.aptaclub.co.uk\/baby\/bonding-and-development\/first-fun.html\r\n<\/a>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<div class=\"backarticle-btn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danone.in\/aptaclub\/category\/baby\/\"><i class=\"fa fa-arrow-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Back to Articles<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a new mother involves seemingly endless work, with continuous cycles of feeding, changing and taking care of your newborn round the clock.
