Should I let my baby play with toys?
From around 6 weeks of age your baby will start wanting some more stimulation and start looking at things around them more often. Letting your baby play with some age appropriate toys such as soft rattles, crackle sounding cloth toys, soft and smooth textured toys and your face (especially when you make funny expressions) is a great way to start! Everything is new to your baby and it will take some time for them to process everything around them. Try and take out one or two toys at a time so they don’t get over-stimulated and reduce the stimulation around 30 minutes before they’re due for their next nap. Once your baby reaches around 4 months old, you can start playing some fun games with them such a mirror, mirror and peekaboo.
