When you place your face directly in front of baby's this can provide visual stimulation, entertainment and socialization skills for your little one. Couple this visual interaction with sounds, and you also trigger important auditory stimulation. Try singing, humming or even telling a little story. You can say something you are familiar or make something up as you go. Your baby won't even mind if the words don't make sense, as long as you continue to speak, or sing, in a loving tone your baby will listen intently.
You may also continue this interactive play by using gentle movements to stimulate many senses at one time. First try laying your baby down on a soft blanket, and while singing, help your little one to gently cross arms and then open them. Next try this with the legs and continue singing or humming to stimulate both auditory and tactile senses at the same time. You can create visual stimulation by being expressive with your face, and making eye contact, while you engage in this playtime activity.
Touch can be one of the best ways to stimulate your baby. It provides contact, reassurance and relaxation. The important sense of touch can be stimulated through play and close contact. By playing with baby's hands and fingers you can stimulate your baby's tactile senses. Also by allowing your baby to grasp your fingers, you continue this interaction and help to engage baby in this tactile learning process.
