Make a photo album of all the key people in the baby s life mother, father, grandparents, siblings, babysitters, etc. Hang a colourful mobile over your baby s cot. Engage in frequent eye contact with the baby. Draw a face on your index finger and wiggle your finger in front of your baby s face. Play with your baby in such a way that he follows the movement of the finger puppet with his eyes.
Crawling plays an important part in the development of visual skills.
Do not try to hurry your baby through this stage in an attempt to make her stand and walk at an earlier age. Place your baby in a vantage point from where he can observe the entire family going about their daily routine. Keep the light on in your baby s room at night in the first few weeks so that he can look around if he wakes up at night. If the light begins to distract him, and prevent him from falling asleep, may be you could try switching on a night light. The best way to accomplish this is to combine talking and listening with action and visuals.
