Come and listen to what experts say, let your baby become smarter the more he plays!

How to stimulate your baby's visual development

1.0-1M Baby visual development:

Babies aged 0-1 month will feel the changes in light more strongly because they are still nearsighted at this time. It is more appropriate to use black and white visual picture cards for babies, so that they can see relatively clearly.

2.2-3M Baby visual development:

By 2 to 3 months, the baby's color recognition and light sensitivity are better, and the visual distance is about 20 cm. At this stage, you can give the baby more colorful toys; in addition, the baby at this time also has a stronger sense of faces.

3.6M Baby's visual development:

Around 6 months old, the baby's perception of the overall surrounding environment will be stronger. At this time, you can observe whether the baby's eye tracking development is good or bad. It is recommended that mothers choose hanging toys for the baby.

How to stimulate your baby's hearing development

When a child hears a sound, he or she will naturally turn his or her head. Therefore, letting the baby listen to adults talking, simple music, or telling him or her a story will be better for the child's hearing development, as well as future attention and environmental detection!

In terms of vocalization, simple melodies, soft music, or music with high repetition are easy for babies at this stage to imitate and learn, so simple words or sounds will begin to appear during the babbling stage. At this stage, parents can choose soothing toys or toys with sounds, which will help the baby focus on the toy for a longer period of time and will also be good for the child's emotional stability.

How to stimulate your baby's sense of touch

The period before one year old is a very important development period for babies. The biggest feature of the oral stage is that babies use their mouths to explore the world. When they put things in their mouths, it is just like us adults touching things with our hands, and they are all exploring the world. At the same time, it also has a soothing effect on babies, letting them know what changes have taken place in the current environment.

In fact, when a baby sucks his fingers or his toys, this is his way of communicating with the world. The action of sucking his fingers is his own initiative to explore the world. Parents can also stimulate the baby's tactile development through cloth books, towels, or toys of different materials, which will also improve the baby's emotions and cognition.

If you observe that your baby's behavior is slightly different from the above situations, parents do not need to worry too much. You can record the baby's behavior first. If you feel that the difference is really big, you can seek help from a doctor or expert.
