O+ Infant Years

It’s never too early to begin playing with your new baby.
In fact, to a newborn fascinated with the sight of your face
and your warm touch, you are your baby’s first toy.

From day one, your baby learns through his senses - eyes, ears, nose, mouth and skin. And when you play in ways that stimulate those senses, you are helping your newborn flourish emotionally, socially, and intellectually.

Parenting your newborn infant

Look for everyday ways to playfully stimulate your baby’s developing senses.

As you change baby’s diaper, keep a favorite rattle nearby to stimulate auditory and visual skills. As you ride in the car, pop in a musical CD for baby to listen to. In the supermarket, offer baby textured, scented toys to touch, feel and smell. For bath time fun, run tub toys over baby’s soapy belly and legs. And at day’s end, snuggle and rock your sleepyhead along with a soft "lovey" bedtime pal.

Through rich, playful, sensory experiences like these, your newborn will begin life feeling secure and loved.
