Playing is all about learning, exploring and building positive relationships - all things that start right from birth. Here's two key things to consider when playing with your newborn baby: 1. It's never too early to start playing with your baby! Playtime can be based around your interaction together (young babies don't need toys- your face and voice are the perfect toys). Talking and singing when your baby is awake, calm and alert are great ways to build your baby's brain and enjoy the bond between you. 2. Playtime and interacting takes a lot of energy and regulation for babies as they need to process all the sensory information coming at them. With this in mind, keep an eye on the cues your baby will give you for needing a break and be ready to stop playing. Newborn babies' awake periods are short at this stage but as time goes on your baby will stay awake for longer periods of time and you will be able to play for longer 😊 #playingwithyourbaby #parentinfantrelationships #talkingtomybaby #babybehaviour #babycommunication #babycues #sensorybabies #infantmentalhealth #infantdevelopment From Brazelton Centre UK

Super simple Sunday Setup. Merida is off at dance rehearsal so once Bonnie woke from her nap we did some really simple but fun play. All we did was put the @lego Duplo in and out of a box transferring it from one to another! She got so much out of this really simple idea. ❤️ She was using her motor skills and hand eye coordination to pick up and put down the Lego 💙 She was eye tracking watching when I threw the pieces in. 💜 She was listening to the noise as the pieces dropped. 💚 She was feeling the Lego shapes- the smooth areas and the bumpy parts. ❤️She was also sharing the Duplo with me passing it to me and then taking it back, learning early social skills 💛 I was using the colour names as she picked pieces up. So much from a 1 minute setup! I shall be sharing more easy and quick play activities for babies! Like and follow for more baby fun! #bigtopicsforlittlehumans growing up #create_play_inspire #ourlittleworldofplay #funbudgetplay #exploreandplayyourway #littlesplayshare #1minuteplay #simpleplayforlittles #learningisfunwithus #simpleplayinspo #showusyourplayideas #snippetsofplay #keepingplayreal #haveagreatplay #babyactivities #babysensory #babysensoryplay #babyexploration #babydevelopment #finemotorskills #finemotorskillsforbabies #playingwithyourbaby #montessoriathome #mumblog #mumbloggeruk #shareyouranyplaywithus #easypeasyplay #my5minuteplay #babyplayhacks #babyplayideas

In my beginners class series, I will help you to develop a felt experience of when there is excess pressure on the pelvic floor while simultaneously working through tense areas of the body that foster this preference. 💫This is a holistic approach to pelvic floor health. These techniques transformed my life as a new mum ⚽ I could finally kick a ball with my child 🏃‍♂️ Run and play 🤱 Pick up my baby pain-free Push a shopping trolley and feel my core reflexively respond At the time my boy was my motivator. I wanted to be able to run and play with him but what I didn't expect when taking this approach was the change in my tension levels, and the deeper connection I would also develop with my body.  Being super tense with hip, shoulder, wrist lower back, foot pain, two prolapses and a diastasis recti wasn't a permanent state of being.  🧘‍♀️ We are always adapting and healing and this is what we promote in my beginner's 6-week evening class series starting in Clanfield next week. 7th June 6:05 pm Message me at [email protected] to secure your spot. If you would like to learn more about this whole-body approach, I have written a blog which you can find the link for in my bio. If this sounds like exactly what you have been looking for, save this post so you don't forget to secure your spot as spaces are limited. #newmum2021 #newmum2022 #postpartumhealing #postnatalclass #prolapse #rectocele #cystocele #lowerbackache #hippain #tighthips #diastasisrecti #corerehab #pelvicfloorrehab #playingwithyourbaby #motherhood #postpartumisforever #cotswoldmum #oxfordmum #motherhood #womenshealth #holistic #wholebodyapproach #

Our high contrast cards. As part of our Meaningful play box. Because a baby’s eyesight is not yet fully developed at birth, their perception of colour is restricted to black, white and shades of grey. Therefore, babies love to look at high-contrast black-and-white shapes and pictures. It draws their attention and helps them concentrate. Watching a moving object, helps fine tune your baby’s visual tracking, a lifelong skill that could impact reading and writing. Because high contrast images are easier for babies to interpret, they are the best way for your baby to lengthen their attention span, improve their memory and develop their nervous system. . . . #easypeasyplaybox #mumlife #learnthroughplay #playingwithyourbaby #sensoryplay #babyshowergifts #newbornbabygift

Our baby safe mirror. As part of our Meaningful play box. During tummy time a mirror motivates your baby to lift their head, keep it up and look around which strengthens neck and arm muscles. Mirrors can also encourage babies to roll simply because they want to be closer to the reflection. Mirrors inspire babies to reach, pat and point. When babies can grasp objects, playing with a hand-held mirror supports their hand skills as they hold and move the mirror to capture different views of their surroundings. . . . #newborn #babygiftboxset #meaningfulplay #sensoryplayideas #playingwithyourbaby #sensoryplay #babyproducts

Waking up, feeding your baby, and clothing and feeding yourself will seem overwhelming and at some times impossible. There might be times when you think that you can’t do this.

Posted @withregram • @brazeltonuk Your baby is so interested in exploring the world, especially through interaction with you, but they can only tolerate so much stimulation. There are many little time-out cues that can signal needing a break like yawning, looking away, sneezing, hiccupping, change in colour or breathing. Allow your baby to renew their energy and help by lowering the level of stimulation before playing again when they show they are ready. You can find this image and many others on our Baby Communication poster which you can order through our website.

Babies explore through play. Between birth and 12 months, babies become more and more fascinated by what is happening around them. Research shows that through play, babies explore and develop their imagination. As their imaginations develop, they can experiment with new objects, sounds and sights. Play is important because it provides babies with different cognitive, sensory, and physical experiences. We have assessed the research and incorporated insights from experts to find ways in which you can support your baby and create a developmental foundation through meaningful play. #comingspring2021 . . . . . #easypeasyplaybox #meaningfulplay #sensoryplayideas #playingwithyourbaby #sensoryplay #australianowned #supportsmallbusiness #localbusiness #local #noosabusiness #babyplayideas #sunshinecoast #mumlife #learnthroughplay #fineandgrossmotorskills #earlylearning #socioemotionalskills #cognitivedevelopment #languagedevelopment

How does sensory play support language development you might ask? 🌈 Seeing, hearing and touching are all ways children learn to think, feel and compare their environment and the objects within it. 🌈 Using multiple senses at the same time stimulates learning and language development, especially descriptive words. 🌈 Sensory play helps to build nerve connections in the brain. #comingspring2021 . . . . . #meaningfulplay #sensoryplayideas #playingwithyourbaby #sensoryplay #australianowned #supportsmallbusiness #localbusiness #local #noosabusiness #babyplayideas #sunshinecoast #mumlife

If you are expecting, or have recently had, a baby this is for you. This course is also open to #grandparents or friends supporting someone expecting or who has just had a baby. #PerinatalMentalHealth #PerinatalWellBeing #Bondingwithyourbaby #PlayingwithyourBaby #CommunitySupports #Selfcare #expectantparents

A newborn has as many brain cells(neurons) as an adult, however the connections between brain cells (synapses) that allow the baby to process information quickly haven't yet been wired. Babies learn about the world by interacting with it and with their parents. To build a baby's brain, parents need to expose the baby to new things, letting the baby explore those things over and over until the baby has memorized every detail, then give the baby quiet time to process what the baby has experienced. For your baby, play is how thay learn about themselves and the world around them. When your baby grabs and shakes a rattle or plays Peekaboo with you, they discover that they can make things happen. When you talk, coo, laugh, hug & kiss your baby they are learning that their responses affect you. #newborncare #newborn #newbaby #newbornplay #babyplay #playingwithyourbaby #childbirtheducator #childbirtheducation #newborncare #childbirth #inarabirthclasses

It is so fantastic that in recent years there has been more education/emphasis to expectant and new parents to 'talk to your baby'. It's so important we engage and interact with our baby when they're ready for it ( in a calm, alert state) but it's ALSO good to remember communication is two way. We need to believe and trust our baby is speaking back to us. Our baby's body language will continuously be sparking conversation- "Come and play with me!", "I'm feeling tired, can you help me calm the environment?", "I'm starting to get hungry, can I have a cuddle and a feed". When we understand the ways our baby shares with us their needs, thoughts and feelings we can respond accordingly. We become attuned to our baby and our relationship deepens ❤️ Let's remember: Communication is two ways. Even with babies. And good communication is one of the keys to a flourishing relationship. #babycommunication #talkingtoyourbaby #playingwithyourbaby #babycues #newbornbaby #newparents #parentbabyrelationship #bonding #bodylanguage

Baby behaviour information leaflet resource now available to order online! Order as many as you like ready to share with the new parents you meet! Called ‘The First Relationship’, these popular leaflets which our course attendees receive (in their training packs and certification packs), are now available to everyone. Written for parents of newborn babies, this resource helps them see how their baby is communicating with them through his/her behaviour, encouraging more confident and responsive care.  The leaflet covers: understanding the 6 states of alertness in babies; soothing a crying baby; playing and talking with your baby and signs for babies needing a break (where they may be overstimulated). This is the perfect resource for supporting the parent-baby relationship. The leaflet is A5 size, with 6 sides of information. You can see a sample of the whole leaflet AND order as many as you like TODAY!

The Red Ball. 🔴 This item is part of the Newborn Behavioural Observations kit. But what is it used for? The red ball is used to observe the baby’s ability to track and follow objects. When the baby is in a quiet alert state the practitioner can hold the ball at a distance of approx. 10-12 inches where the baby may lock his/her gaze onto the ball and follow it as it is moved from side to side. It is amazing to see newborn babies focusing in on a stimulus and actively scanning its movements.  Of course, baby’s have a special attraction to the human face and usually choose to look at a face rather than an object. In either case however, there is often a limit to the amount of stimulation a baby can take on. With the NBO we also teach the practitioner to show the parents signs of availability and readiness and signs of disengagement and overstimulation. It's really important to engage and play with your baby but it's also good to be able to recognise when they want a break 😊 #newbornbehaviouralobservations #babybehaviour #socialinteraction #playingwithyourbaby #parentinfantrelationships #newbaby #newparents

Play helps babies learn about their bodies and their world. Many of the interactions you have with your baby are subtle forms of play. The more you interact with your baby the more your baby learns⁣! ⁣. . . . .⁣ #ulubulu #pacifier #newborns #babies #parents #firstimeparents #parenthood #colorfulpacifiers #babyessentials #motherhood #fatherhood #newparents #babycare #momlife #family #baby #babyplay #playingwithyourbaby #playfulbaby

The Best Toy For a Baby is YOU! 👩‍👦 When we bring a newborn baby into our family we’re often showered with lovely gifts including soft toys, rattles or mobiles that our babies love to play with. Toys help them grow and develop all their senses to help them understand their world. The BEST toy that you can give your baby is time with you. Getting on the floor with them and giving them your full attention will benefit them greatly. When you baby makes noises, copy them to reinforce their language skills. Having your face close to theirs gives your baby a sense of trust and security. This bond then forms the foundation for future language skills both verbal and non verbal. Sing songs and rhymes to your baby along with actions like incy wincy spider or twinkle twinkle little star. Babies love seeing hands and fingers move above them. Read stories to your baby, talk about the pictures. When going for a walk talk about what you can see and point out different things like trees, birds and houses. All this interaction with your child is by far the most beneficial type of PLAY a baby can experience. So don’t stress about having a latest popular toys for your baby when all they need is YOU! 😍

🖌A REGULAR PICASSO🖌 .. ✨The weather has been seriously dreary, cold and depressing in Michigan lately. 👎🏻 We’re running out of things to do inside and Nora is starting to get sick of her toys. Lol. .. ✨So I searched around the house and came across a bin I’ve kept of various activities and art materials from when my nieces would come over all the time when they were younger. .. ✨I realize Nora is still a bit young for markers and paints and those sort of things, but I found some @crayola Color Wonder Mess Free markers and paper and thought it’d be fun to give it a shot. 🤷🏻‍♀️ .. ✨So I taped a piece of paper down on the table, showed her how the markers worked by writing her name on the paper and then let her play and experiment. How genius is it to make markers that only work on the paper!? I didn’t have to worry about her coloring on herself or my table. 😂 .. ✨I’ll admit it didn’t hold her attention too long, but I could tell it was getting her brain working as she was experiencing something brand new and her expressions let me know she was having fun. ☺️ .. ✨Swipe all the way through to see Nora’s official first work of art! 🥰🎉 Might have to hang this on the refrigerator. 😍 .. ✨For those who have babies around the 15 month mark, what are some activities you are doing at home with your littles? Lemme know! I need some new stuff! 👇🏻

These last four months of your baby’s first year are all about movement!🤸🏼‍♀️ . Your baby will either already be crawling or master the skill during this time and will quickly move to standing, cruising, and walking! 🤩 . These months also come with lots of Separation Anxiety. Babies realize they are independent from mom, and with this realization comes a lot of tears and clinginess. 🦥 . A sign of Secure Attachment is a baby’s ability to deal with this Separation Anxiety effectively. This doesn’t mean they don’t feel it but that they are soothed once they are reunited with us and they quickly go back to “exploration mode.” 😁 . . #playingwithyourbaby #8to11months #newmom #newparents #separationanxiety #happybaby #attachment #secureattachment #parentingtips #parentingthroughcovid19 #parentingthroughcorona #parentingthroughapandemic #playingtoconnect #childdevelopment #neurodevelopment #playbuildsthebrain #brainsloveplay

This stage is a whirlwind! Babies are starting to “wake up” and explore. . . Here are some ideas of what you can do to support your little one in that exploration. . . These activities support sensory development and movement. They also support object permanence since babies are just starting to develop that concept. . . This is why this is commonly the stage where they usually begin experiencing separation anxiety, as they understand that objects (people) disappear and they are not yet sure where they go or if they will return. . . ⚠️**Always watch your child when playing with balloons and never allow them to take the balloons close or into their mouths** ⚠️ . #playingwithyourbaby #4to7months #newmom #newdad #newparents #babyhood #newparentslife #tummytime #sensorydevelopment #childdevelopment #neurodevelopment #playingtoconnect #brainsloveplay
