0 to 6 months: playing with baby and how to build a relationship

Talk and smile to your baby during wake time and show baby that he/she can trust you.
Make sounds for your baby. Clap your hands, snap your fingers, make unusual sounds in different positions around your baby’s head, play soothing music.
Sing your baby simple lullabies like “Hush Little Baby” or "silent night".
Dangle a toy in front of baby and see if baby will follow as you move the toy.
Make your baby look. Use books with different textures and have baby touch and look at pictures.
Play peek a boo with baby. cover and uncover your eyes.
Babys love looking at themselves. Put a safety mirror on play mat.
Teach your baby to hold objects/toys. encourage baby to reach for objects/toys too.
after a 10 mins of stimulation of baby's brain. what better way to relax baby... giving baby infant massage.
