Play is a critical element of healthy childhood development, and how kids experience playtime changes as they grow up. Your baby’s short wake time looks limited abilities can make it challenging to create engaging play experiences at this age. Luckily we have different ways to play with our loved ones. Here we will discuss some healthy activities for 0 to 3 months old babies.
1)Healthy activity is Cycle time:
You can gently move the legs of your baby in a cycling motion to increase his muscle strength and abdominal activity. This activity will also introduce him to the alternative motions of legs which will later help him walk and crawl.
2)Healthy activity is Balancing act:
With the help of this act, you can develop your baby’s balance and strengthen his neck muscles by holding him on the top of a large ball like a yoga ball. Gently roll him back and forth and talk to him about what he is experiencing.
3) Imitation:
You can make your baby laugh and cheer him up by copying his sounds and actions. This will help you to communicate with your baby and to make him understand that he is important and you are paying attention to him and it models the communication process.
4) Swing together:
Swinging also provides the best way to cheer up your infant. It will make him feel fresh and happy. You can hold your baby gently and sway together on a hammock or swing. It will be more comfortable to wear a baby carrier for swinging at the playground.
5) Explore textures:
Feeling different textures is an easy activity even for your little ones. It is a common sensory activity. You can run your baby’s hand gently on different surfaces to make him feel textures. It would help him in his brain development. Some ideas are scarves baskets, pillows and clothes.
6) Airplane ride:
Give your baby a new perspective of life by swinging him in your arms with his face down and your arms supporting his tummy. It would be relaxing for a gassy baby but a non-gassy baby will surely enjoy this ride. You can even make airplane noise if you want
7) Pleasant conversation:
Talking is teaching. Talk more often to your baby throughout the day. It will help him to learn different things. One of the most essential aspects of language development starts from day 1.
8) Shall we dance:
Dancing is the most delightful way to play with your newborn and bond with your baby while offering the physical contact and swaying motion your baby loves. Turn on some groovy beats and start dancing with your baby
9) Stretch out:
After being in a fetal position for a month the fetus is quite curled up. Gently stretch the legs and arms of your baby one at a time. This will helps to develop body awareness and strengthen the muscle.
