Things mothers should teach their babies aged 0-3 months.

What will your baby learn at this stage, and what can you teach them? Your baby will learn more than you might think!

What will babies learn in their first three months?

After learning to recognize their mother's voice, face, body scent, etc., babies will begin to communicate with their mother more, for example, by smiling at her.

Newborns typically don't understand time; they may sleep during the day and be awake at night. They also begin to become more curious about their parents and the things they see around them. During these first few months, mothers should talk to their babies frequently and buy them small, colorful toys.

Mothers will begin to see their baby's personality in the first or second month after birth. Newborns are very dependent on their loved ones to begin learning how to interact. By the end of the third month, babies will learn how to express themselves through facial expressions, vocalizations, gestures, and more.

Your baby's eyesight gradually improves, allowing them to distinguish different places and landscapes. They enjoy looking at bright colors and three-dimensional objects. From the third to the fourth month, most babies can squeal with joy and laugh out loud.

At this stage, babies also learn to open and close their hands. They begin to explore their surroundings with their hands, learning to touch and grasp their favorite toys. In particular, they will frequently play with their hands and feet, treating them as a form of entertainment. They enjoy staring at their hands, playing with their fingers, or putting their hands in their mouths to suck on them.

What should mothers encourage their children to learn?

When your baby babbles or squeals, mothers should repeat the same actions to encourage their communication skills. Through these exchanges, the baby will hear language sounds and gain some awareness of the conversation between mother and child.

Mothers should also buy their children colorful toys of different shapes and sizes so that they can learn to observe 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 at a distance but still within the baby's reach. Babies will easily learn how to strive to achieve goals from a very young age.

Here are a few other ideas to encourage your child to learn while playing:

1. Teach your child how to clap, spread their arms to the sides, raise their hands to the sky... this serves as both a form of exercise and stimulates their activity level.

2. Gently move your baby's legs as if they were pedaling a bicycle. This will help develop their muscles, making their legs stronger when they start walking.

3. Use a favorite toy of your baby, raising it up, down, to the right, or to the left to keep their attention focused, helping their eyes become more alert and observant.

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

5. In the second month, if the weather is good, mothers should take their babies out for walks to help them feel more comfortable and to give them the opportunity to explore the wider world.

6. Talk to your baby, ask them lots of questions and encourage them to babble in response. This will help your baby develop excellent communication skills.

7. Whenever mothers are pleased or delighted with what their babies do, they should praise them and call them by name.
