Developmental Insights

Although babies have limited vision at birth, they show a clear preference for bold patterns, bright colors and faces. This is well-suited to provide just the right amount of stimulation without overwhelming. Mothers seem to instinctively realize their little one's limited range as they tend to hold their babies about 8 inches from their face.

 

Interaction Ideas

Hang the crib and floor mirror on baby's crib to encourage reach. Point to her reflection and describe what she is seeing. Babies love to look at human faces!

When baby gets more upper body strength, place it on the floor for tummy time to help baby work on hand coordination. Talk to her about the toys and show her how they work. Then let her try! This will encourage the gross motor skill of lifting head and chest as well as the fine motor skills of reaching and grasping.
