Games to Stimulate Baby’s Development at Age 0-3 Months

While playing, your baby who is a mere 1-3 months old are exploring, optimizing her development and socializing with the surrounding. Here are some games that can stimulate optimum development of baby ages 0-3 months.


Playing Peek-a-boo. There are only three activities that babies of 0-3 months can do, which are seeing, observing and turning head. Since their control for neck, head, hands, body and legs is still limited; baby at this age merely depends on their senses of sight and hearing, which are still as well limited. When we play them peek-a-boo, she would turn her head and watch you and once in a while showing off her killer smile.


Playing Rattle. When you rattle a toy, baby will get amazed. Her sight will be glued to the shaking and rattling sound of the toy. Your baby would turn her head looking for the source of the sound. Observing is a fun activity for baby of 0-3 months old.


Playing Drums. Baby at this age in fact hasn’t been able to play drum. But watch while she’s suckling, she likes to pat you. Though with barely any power, she actually start learning to beat. Your baby starts to practice her hands power and ability.


Playing with Balls. Babies prefer to put rubber ball inside their mouth. It is because exploring toys by using her mouth is a basic for her development. At this oral period, any things would be put inside his mouth.


Playing with Telephone Toy. Baby at this age hasn’t necessarily understood what is telephone toy or its functions. She just can listen to the sound and the flashing lights. However, this is a very good stimulus for the development of her sight and hearing. Entering the third month, her response is getting better. It is no longer a head turn but she starts to mumble like “uuuuh… ahh.”


Hopefully by reading this article you can optimize your baby’s development through fun ways.
