Useful Tips for 1-6 month babies!

TIPS AND TOYS YOU CAN USE FOR 1-6 MONTH BABIES

• Do not hesitate to hold and carry the child as much as possible.

• All family members can smile, laugh, and talk to the child. They can “coo” and copy the child’s sounds.

• Make sure that what the child puts into her/his mouth is clean, not sharp, and is large enough that the child won’t choke on it.

• Put up different pictures in your room for the baby to look at.

• Clean, safe, and colourful things from the household, such as a wooden spoon, plastic bowl or cups can be given to the child to reach for and touch.

• Use toys such as shaker rattle, big ring on a string or any other.

• Hang rings of beads and colorful objects, which can whirl above a child’s bed or swing within the range of eyesight.

• Make sure the infant cannot catch and put any small objects into her/his mouth. Make sure not to use things that are poisonous, harmful, or that might get stuck in the child's throat, nose, or ears.
