When you have tasks that you need to do, like preparing a meal, provide an activity for the baby to do. Baby can come to enjoy some time in the infant swing or playing with the crib gym while you do a quick task. Keep the baby in a safe place where you can see what he is doing. Use these activities for times that you are busy. If Baby does them too often, he will get bored with them.
Babies can get bored.
Plan to play with your baby between feedings. Show Baby the pictures in children's books. At 3 months, an infant needs more activity. When babies are bored they can get fussy, think they want to eat, or go to sleep and keep a schedule that may be hard on parents. Babies Need to Suck The need to suck is very strong during Baby's first 4 months.
