Interacting with parents and babies is beneficial for enhancing the relationship between them. So, how to interact with a two month old baby? What should we pay attention to when interacting with babies? Let's take a look together and learn about this knowledge.
How to interact with a two month old baby
Firstly, how to capture the baby's attention. Baobao has just been born, and at this time he is very curious about the whole world. His attention usually does not stay on the same thing for a long time, so to interact with the baby, first you need to find a way to grab his attention.
The trick is to make the baby sit up straight or hold the baby up straight, and wait for the baby to be in a quiet and flexible state, where the baby's eyes are bright, wide open, focused, and hands and feet are not very moving, similar to the expression when everyone is thinking. Keep objects or faces at a distance of about 25 centimeters from the baby, which can capture their attention the most. Facial expressions should be lively and exaggerated, with eyes and mouth wide open, and speech tone should be rhythmic and slow, with ups and downs.
Secondly, things that babies like. A mother's face is a favorite image for babies because it gives them a sense of security.
Secondly, there are things with sharp contrasts, especially black and white. Like black and white photos, black and white striped clothes, bullseye, shadows of other objects projected by sunlight, and night flames. When purchasing toys, you can give your newborn baby some hanging black and white toys. It is worth noting that the baby will start using their hands after two months, so the rope for hanging toys should not be too long, as it may tie the baby's head and hands. After three months, babies begin to focus their attention on the toy of their hands. During this period, rubber and plastic bracelets are the best toys.
Some babies also learn to use their hands slowly because their fingers have not yet been extended. The faster they extend, the faster they will play with their hands. Therefore, mothers can help babies with this task by gently touching the back of their hands and stimulating their reflex movements, which can help them straighten their fingers.
What to pay attention to when interacting with babies
Firstly, wipe your mouth after eating. After a baby finishes eating, it is inevitable that there will be food sticking to their lips. If left, it will appear both buried and chaotic. But when you help your baby wipe their mouth, they often turn their head or pat your hand open, trying to make a little protest.
Secondly, take a shower or massage. It takes some time for babies to get used to bathing or massaging. So, when you try to put him in the bathtub, he often unconsciously reflects and struggles, and needs a little coaxing to lie down.
Overall, interacting with babies requires various skills, especially for newborn babies who cannot speak at two months old and need us to take care of them more. For babies, parents need more patience and perseverance. Sometimes babies make mistakes, parents should be patient in correcting them and not have negative emotions.
