Stimulation without frustration: place dangling toys wherever baby is (bed, stroller, play mat etc.) to encourage reaching out and looking up. Make sure to place them at a distance of 10-12in. (25-30cm).
By the end of the third month, baby starts gaining some control over her world. Her movements start becoming smoother and more intentional, as the predominance of inborn reflexes fades. She is able to lift her head to look at the world and becomes more aware of her surroundings and her body: she puts her hands in her mouth and tracks a moving toy by moving
her eyes and head. She becomes very
interested in faces, especially
yours, her parent. Cause &
effect begins to enter her
awareness: kick this toy, it will
move. Cry like this, food will
come.
