Things mothers should teach their babies 0 - 3 months old

What will your baby learn at this time and what can you teach him? He will learn more than you think!

What will babies learn in the first three months?

After learning to recognize the mother's voice, face, body odor, etc., the baby will begin to communicate with the mother more, for example, smiling at the mother.

Newborns often do not know the time, they can sleep during the day and stay awake at night. They also start to be more curious about their parents and the things they see around them. During these first months, mothers should often talk to their babies and buy them small, colorful toys.

You will see your baby's personality in the first or second month after birth. Newborns depend a lot on the loved ones around them to start learning how to interact. By the end of the third month, your baby will learn how to make facial expressions, pronounce words, gestures, etc.

Your baby's eyesight is improving, so he can distinguish different places and landscapes. He is very interested in looking at bright colors and three-dimensional objects. From the third to fourth month, most babies can squeal with joy and laugh out loud.

At this stage, the baby also learns to open and close his hands. He begins to explore the surrounding environment with his hands, knows how to touch and hold his favorite toys. In particular, he will often play with his hands and feet, considering them as entertainment. He likes to stare at his hands, play with his fingers or put his hands in his mouth to suck.

What should mothers encourage their children to learn?

When your baby babbles or squeaks, you should do the same to encourage your baby to develop communication skills. Through these exchanges, your baby will hear the sounds of language and somewhat perceive the conversation between you and your baby.

Mothers should also buy their children colorful toys with different shapes and sizes so that they can learn to see and explore. This is a good age to teach children how to try to do something they want.

Mothers can train their babies by holding a favorite toy and placing it far away but still within reach. Babies will easily learn how to strive to achieve goals right from birth.

Some other ideas to encourage your baby to learn through play:

1. Teach your baby how to clap, spread his arms out to the side, raise his arms up to the sky... as both a physical exercise and to stimulate his dynamism.

2. Gently move your baby's legs as if they were riding a bicycle. This will help develop their muscles, and when they learn to walk, their legs will be stronger.

3. Use a favorite toy of your baby, hold it up high, down low, to the right or to the left so that your baby can focus on it, helping your baby's eyes to be more sensitive when observing.

4. Make different facial expressions for your baby to imitate. Your baby will learn how to express his emotions through his face.

5. In the second month, if the weather is good, mothers should take their babies out for a walk to make them feel more comfortable and to give them the opportunity to explore the big world outside.

6. Talk to your baby, ask him many questions and he will babble answers. This will help your baby develop good communication skills.

7. Every time you are satisfied or pleased with what your baby does, praise him and call his name.
