Part 2 Playtime with your infant during the first 16 weeks

Delighting your Baby's Senses
Your little baby's senses are very keen, especially to sounds and touch.  That is why this playtime activity is so much fun.  First, position your baby so she is looking directly at you.  Then lightly caress her skin with your fingertips.  As you are doing this, speak softly and pleasingly to your baby.  Now try using a soft toy or fabric and lightly brush this across her arms, legs, face, and tummy.  Last, say things like "tickle, tickle, tickle!" And "oh it's so soft!"  With her keen sense of touch and sound, she will love the intellectual interaction and bond that she is having with you.
