A typical baby begins to play and socialize during the third month of life. Playing begins with the hands. They are looked at and played with for long periods. Smiling is frequent and babbling becomes the major speech event.
Babies enjoy repeating actions or experiences and are comforted by consistent care.
Routines and interactions with parents minimize a baby's anxiety and stress. Lack of routine promotes fragile growth instead of self-sufficiency. New growth and developmental milestones occur by the end of 3 months. You can never spoil a newborn. Spend a lot of time actively playing with him to stimulate the developing senses.
