The Baby Club: Create some calm time with these soothing activities

Soothing activities can help create some calm time for you and your baby, which is great for their development. Create a mood where you feel nice and relaxed. If you relax, your baby is more likely to relax too. Enjoy gentle sensory play with bubbles, scarves or ribbons. Your baby may watch and point. Make sure you respond to their actions.

This helps develop their coordination. Try big mouth movements when blowing bubbles. Your baby may try to copy you, which will help build the muscles they need for speech. You could make calm time something you do every day. From sensory play. to a soothing song, calm time will help your baby feel relaxed.
