Baby activities for 0 to 3 months old baby

 One of the most favorite moments of my life was spending time with Parth when he was a newborn. Those three months were the most peaceful, enjoyable and snuggly months! I never wanted it to end. but, they grow so fast.

Today, I wanted to talk to you about some things you can do to help your three-month-old reach developmental milestones.

TUMMY TIME

Some babies don’t enjoy tummy time, but it’s so important for these squishy little!
Babies need to spend around 30 minutes on their tummy each day to help them learn to lift up their head and to roll over. There are different ways to do tummy time to make it more fun for your baby. I did tummy time with Parth on a fun mat, on my tummy, and on my legs. If the baby doesn’t respond to tummy time on his own, try to engage him.

CRISS CROSS
This is an awesome activity to strengthen and stretch your baby. First, you take your baby’s left hand and touch it to their right foot. Then, you switch and take your baby’s right hand and touch it to their left foot. I usually did this about ten times with Parth each day.

IMITATE BABY

It is so funny to watch a baby and all of the faces they make and to listen to the sounds they make. It makes it even more fun to try and imitate them! Your baby will notice that you are copying them and they might even respond by making more noises.

CYCLING

This was one of Parth’s favorite activities! I would take his legs and gently move them in a cycling motion. Again this is another fantastic way to exercise those legs to get him ready to roll, crawl and walk!

AIRPLANE
Let baby see the world through new heights! Daddy likes doing this one. Just hold on tight, baby only wants to pretend fly!

LEG PRESSES
This is another great leg exercise activity! For this activity, you take a hard object ( a book, box, couch) and you place it right by your baby’s feet. Your baby will then push off the object with their feet.

PLAY WITH TEXTURES
Different textures are perfect for baby’s developmental stages. At three months, you should be letting them feel things like stuffed animals, toys like wooden blocks and plastic teethers, and various kinds of fabrics.

TALKING, SINGING, AND READING

 


Communication is so important for newborn babies. In order for them to learn how to talk you need to communicate with them a lot. One way is to sing songs. Nursery rhymes are repetitive and good for babies to hear but any type of song will work! You can also read children’s books, your own books or magazines to your baby. It really doesn’t matter what you are saying just as long as you are communicating with your baby!


Try all these activities with your baby. I’d love to hear about your experiences with these activities and how your baby reacted to them.
