Playing with Your Baby, Month by Month

$0.00

You don't need a stack of toys to help your baby learn. Most of it happens in everyday moments: face-to-face talking, a wooden spoon and a pot, a game of peekaboo.

This free guide gives you five simple things to try at each stage of your baby's first year, from the newborn weeks through 11 months. Each age starts with a quick note on what your baby is likely working on, so the activities make sense for where they are right now. You'll find ideas for tummy time, rolling, sitting, crawling, babbling, first games, and early walking, all using things you already have at home.

A few safety reminders are up front, and the guide closes with free Cuyahoga County and Ohio resources, including in-home developmental evaluations and nurse visits you can request yourself.

Every baby does things in their own time, so treat these as ideas, not a checklist. Your pediatrician is the best person to ask about your baby's development or health.
