Playing with babies:

• Put your baby in a crawling position at one end of the room with you at the opposite end. Get his attention and see if you can encourage him to crawl towards you.

• Another playing with babies tip is to place a toy behind him to encourage him to learn how to twist his body around.

• Your baby will enjoy a toy that he can ride along on like a toy tractor or car. Make sure that his legs are long enough to reach the ground and eventually he will learn to push himself along.
