What can I do with my newborn?

Question

I want to do some stimulating activities for my son, he's 19 days old.

What about singing to him? What benefits does this have?

He has some toys but he's too young to be interested in them yet.

Any suggestions?? I feel like I'm disadvantaging him by just holding him quietly !

Answer

Right now he just needs love and snuggles. Definitely talk/sing to him, soak up these newborn days he's going to grow so fast!

Answer

We do tummy time with him laying on my chest, skin to skin, I try to read to him at least once a day just so he can hear my voice, and my little guy loves music! Little lullabies and things like that just calm him down so much!

Answer

Skin to skin, sing to baby, talk to baby, hold baby. That's all what a newborn needs

Answer

They're starting to get very fascinated by faces now. I put my little one on my chest while I'm reclining and let him look at my face. Trains his neck and back muscles and gives him something to look at

Answer

There's really not much to stimulate just yet. Your smell, touch and voice is all s newborn needs. You can read sing and do skin to skin.

Answer

Read to him.
