Playtime for baby
Baby play time and activities are important, and when babies are not sleeping they still need something to amuse them. Play gyms are very good for babies. I found a play mat is also very useful for them to lay comfortably on the floor and relax. Softness is key and something padded is the best for a baby.
Talking and interacting as much as possible with your baby and reading to them will bring a smile to their face even when they are under twelve months old, they appreciate the one on one time and just listening and looking at books or toys that are suitable for a baby.
