Stimulation is essential to your baby’s development, and you play a major role. Simple mom-and-baby activities go a long way to make your baby laugh and encourage speech.
As moms, we get used to the buzz of a busy household and don’t always realize how loud it is. But babies are easily distracted, so if you want to engage your baby, cut down on background noise. When there are fewer sounds, newborns are more likely to engage — and laugh (source).
Any novel or unexpected noise might make your baby laugh. For an easy game, go high tech. We love Youtube videos and apps designed specifically for babies.
Whether it’s a train horn or a dog barking, new noises can be exciting and funny for babies.
