Parenting Tips for Your 1 Month Old Baby
At first, your baby stares at objects. If an object is just 7 to 8 inches away, she can focus on it pretty well. Later, she begins to watch and follow objects with her eyes.
To help your baby learn to lift her head, lie on your back and put your baby on your tummy. Call her name and encourage her to lift her head to see you.
Encourage your baby to track your face. As you move from left to right, see if she will follow you with her eyes and turn her head.
Talk to your baby from different places in the room. As she searches for you with her eyes, she will start to learn how to coordinate sight and sound.
Hang a mobile over your baby’s crib. Select one without string or elastic that could entangle her. Place the mobile on one side of the crib for a few days, and then move it to the other side. This will help your baby look in both directions.
Say simple nursery rhymes to your baby. Se will enjoy the sound of your voice and the repetition of the words.
