at what age does a baby start reaching for a toy on her own?




J





Answer
At around 2 months babies are learning how to use their neck and shoulder muscles and soon will begin trying to raise their heads when lying down and to reaching out for objects when sitting. You can hold toys out in front of your baby to encourage him or her to reach. Babies love brightly colored objects. Mobiles will attract your baby's attention. You also can introduce a soft rattle. Here are a few safety tips to remember when choosing toys for your baby:

* Never give your baby a toy with sharp or pointed edges
* Don't let your baby hold a toy with small removable parts that could cause choking
* Choose age-appropriate toys

Remember that babies develop differently and on their own schedules.

Have fun and enjoy every moment with ur little one!

Answer
They're all junk. Don't fall for the marketing hype; television is NOT good for babies. If you want to encourage her intellectual development, talk to her, read to her, sing to her. Make faces at her. Stick your tongue out. Tell her what you're doing while you're making a sandwich. Anything that involves you interacting...

YOU are going to be her favourite, and most educational, toy for quite some time.

"TV watching "rewires" an infantâs brain, says Dr. Dimitri A. Christakis lead researcher and director of the Child Health Institute at Childrenâs Hospital and Regional Medical Center, Seattle, Wash. The damage shows up at age 7 when children have difficulty paying attention in school....

How much TV should I let my baby watch?

No child under age two should watch television at all, the Academy of American Pediatrics advised in 1998. Doctors blame TV for increasing aggression and obesity in children, now they add ADHD risk to early TV use."
