A newborn who feels loved will have an easier time learning about the world around her and feeling good about it. Therefore, make sure you interact with your newborn and give her a lot of affection. Let your baby hear your voice as much as possible - it does not matter what you say to him. The newborn brain is especially interested in sound. You can form a deep emotional connection between you and your baby by simply sharing the sound of your voice with him.
Sounds also are important to a newborn because they are the building blocks of speech and language.
Create a Predictable World for Your Baby Providing routines and expected responses gives your baby a sense that the world around her is trustworthy. It also teaches her that she can depend on you. If your baby understands this, she will spend less energy fussing over her needs and more time learning. Routines can include basic activities like feeding and bathing. You cannot spoil an infant, so go to him when he fusses or cries.
