    Activities in the first months

    Tips and tricks for finding activities your baby will enjoy between 0-2 months are:

    Activities with your baby in the first months:

    - During the first months of life, almost everything is about seeking contact and being close to the caregivers. The baby has short periods of active wakefulness when it can socialize and communicate through eye contact, small sounds and gestures right from the start. Lie face to face and make eye contact, talk to the baby and imitate each other's gestures and sounds. The child may need time to respond. Contact when the child is more tired and asleep is more about physical closeness, being held, smelling and being cared for.

    - Talk to the child when you do things, for example, tell them out loud what is happening, what the parent is doing and what the child is doing. For example, when changing diapers and bathing.

    - Lie close, skin to skin, so that the baby can smell and hear body sounds from the parent.

    - Singing to the child.

    - The child can look at objects, such as a mobile phone over the bed. The child's vision is not yet fully developed and therefore prefers sharp contrasts such as black and white and clear patterns.
