Indulging in some fun time with Baby could make the everyday more interesting and help you bond better with him. Here’s what all you can do with your little bundle of joy and how.
LET’S FACE IT: Some days, you’re so busy trying to put Baby down for a nap, or take a chunk out of that pile of paperwork on your kitchen table, that you forget to hang out with her and simply play. But it is important to bond with Baby over play. Not only will playtime aid your child’s emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development, but it will also give respite from a hectic day and help you de-stress. “Play is your baby’s work. It’s how infants explore the world, develop fine and gross motor skills, learn language, and connect with us emotionally so that they can grow into happy, healthy, and smart little people,” explains Dr. Michele Borba, the author of UnSelfie.
The good news is that finding moments to play with your little one throughout the day is a lot easier than, say, trying to book a coffee date with another busy mom. And you don’t have to feel pressured to entertain your baby—in fact, the opposite is preferable. “A better approach is to use play as an opportunity to tune in to your baby,” explains Janet Lansbury, author of Elevating Child Care. “Respond to her instead of trying to get a response out of her.” Use these ideas to seamlessly enjoy your sweetie throughout your day.
