As a father, you have an important role to play in taking care of your baby and development to be smart baby. Your baby needs you. And mom needs you to share many of the responsibilities of taking care of your new baby. When you do things with your baby, you and your baby get closer. You and your baby form a bond that helps her feel safe and happy.

You may feel nervous around a newborn because you have never done it before. The best way for you to get over the uneasiness is to hold your baby.

Here are some things you can do to be a part of your baby’s life. You will find that the more you do with her, the more comfortable you will be.

• Hold and cuddle your baby.

• Smile and laugh with your baby.

• Talk to your baby. Your baby will quickly learn your voice and know that you are her daddy.

• Change your baby’s diapers.

• Cuddle with mom and your baby during breastfeeding.

• When mom’s breast milk or formula has been put in a bottle, you can give your baby the bottle. Cuddle with and talk and sing to your baby during bottle time.

When you’re choosing toys for your baby, consider cost and safety. Toys need to be sturdy. They should have smooth edges and not break, splinter or crack. Make sure the toys can be cleaned easily. Test all toys regularly to make sure there are no loose parts.

All babies explore with their mouths. Make sure toys are safe for mouthing. Avoid play materials that are made of foam. Your baby could bite off a piece and choke.

Use these guidelines when you’re choosing toys for your baby.

• The toy is interesting to explore and manipulate.

• The toy is not a choking hazard.

• The toy matches the child’s physical abilities.

• The toy challenges but does not frustrate.

• The toy is well-constructed and durable.

Great toys for babies

Great toys can help your baby grow and learn. Most are inexpensive. Many can be hand made. Remember to check the toys often for safety.

• Books—Buy plastic or cardboard picture books. Get books with pictures of common objects.

• Dolls—Offer soft, simple dolls with painted faces.

• Stuffed animals—Provide soft, plush animals with sewn or painted faces.

• Transportation toys—Buy sturdy, one-piece cars and trucks. Buy toys your baby can carry and roll.

• Grasping toys—Offer toys that have interesting textures and parts to explore. Examples include plastic linking chains, stacking rings and shape sorters.

• Sand and water toys—Offer unbreakable household cups, spoons, funnels and strainers.

• Construction toys—Buy sturdy wooden blocks. Offer a few at a time for your baby to stack. She will build with them when she’s older.

• Puzzles—Buy simple wooden inset puzzles with two to four pieces.

• Mirrors—Share unbreakable hand mirrors. Hang a mirror low on the wall where your baby crawls.

• Nesting and building toys—Buy or gather cups and boxes of various sizes that “nest” inside each other. Turned upside down, they can be stacked on top of each other.

• Balls—Buy a variety of sizes and textures for rolling and tossing.

• Art and craft materials—Offer a few large, nontoxic crayons. Use tape to hold paper in place.

• Musical instruments—Buy or make shakers, rattles and drums.

• Audio materials—Buy or borrow recordings of simple songs, rhymes and rhythms.

Your baby is too active to watch TV now. She is curious about the things in the real world: kitchen spoons, blades of grass and newspapers. Her attention span is too short to sit still and watch TV for even a minute. This means that she won’t be interested in videos or movies, either.

When you watch TV, watching it takes time away from your baby. It’s hard to enjoy a show and care for your baby at the same time. It’s best to save your TV watching until she naps or goes to bed at night. Instead of watching TV, read a book to her.

Sing a song or dance to music. Play a game such as “drop the ball in the oatmeal box.” These activities help develop her brain. They strengthen her social skills. They help her feel loved and happy.

If you watch TV while your baby sleeps, turn down the sound and darken her room. You don’t want her to think she’s missing something fun.

Avoid having the TV on all day as background noise. A silent black box will be less interesting to explore. Limiting TV time is a good habit to start now. Later, when she’s in school, your child will need time to read and do her homework.

Brain Growth Summary

10-18 weeks pregnant - Phase one of brain growth with the number of brain cells is established

20 weeks of pregnant (to two years old) - Phase two of brain growth with the brain growth spurt. Cells increase in size and dendrites develop.

20 weeks pregnant (to four years old) -  Nerve fibers insulated at the rapid rate. Process slow down after four years of age.

8 months pregnant - Brain double in weight.

At Birth - Brain doubles in weight.

6 months old baby - Infant’s brain 50% of adult weight.

1 year old - Infant’s brain 70% of adult weight. Majority of DNA and genetic material in brain cells has been set down.

3 years old - Child’s brain has reached over 90% of its maximum size.

Conclusion: The majority of brain growth occurs in the first year following birth.

According to Peter Huttenlocher discovered that important fact about the brain development.

“His research proved that the fetal brain overproduces cells and that unless they find a connection or job to do, they die off. He says that under stimulation and lack of interaction with the outside world causes the cell ceased. The future number of brain cells could vary by as much as 25% depending on the quality of enrichment offered to the learner”

It is very important to talk to your baby. You may wonder how much of what you say is understood by your baby. But don’t worry. When you talk, your baby is smart and is listening. When you talk to babies, use simple words and phrases. You should speak clearly. You can get your baby’s attention by widening your eyes and mouth. You can also change the pitch and tone of your voice. These are your baby’s first lessons in communication.

Here are some tips for talking develop a smart baby:

• Look at your baby’s eyes while you are talking to her.

• Call your baby by her name.

• Keep your talk simple. Say “pretty baby.” Use the words “mommy” and “daddy” when you talk to her.

• Watch for your baby’s expressions and listen to her sounds. Make these same sounds and facial expressions back to her.

• Add gestures to your talk. Say “wave bye-bye to the dog” as you wave to the dog.

• Ask your baby questions. “Would Maria like to have her milk now?” “Does Maria want to go outside?” Ask the questions even though she can’t answer.

• Talk about what you are doing. As you dress, bathe and change your baby, talk about what you’re doing.

• Read to your baby. Babies love nursery rhymes and poems. You can even use a lively voice and read your favorite magazine or book to her. If you can, use books with stories that include a baby, a rattle or other common things. (You can find lots of children’s books at your public library.)

• Sing to your baby. It is important while she begins to learn language skills.

• Watch for signals from your baby when you are talking to her. If she is smiling and keeping eye contact, she is saying she wants you to keep on talking.

It will be months before your baby says her first word. But babies start learning about language much earlier.

 
Even in the first few weeks after birth, your baby is learning about language. Very young babies can tell the difference between speech and other sounds. They can tell the difference between the voices of men and the voices of women. They even know the voices of their own mothers. A baby can tell the voice of her mother from the voices of other women. Researchers think babies are able to do this because of the way specific parts of their brains work.

 
Babies can also communicate long before they speak. They use movements and sounds to let you know what they want or don’t want. Some people refer to these as a baby’s “signals”.

 
Right now, your baby can tell you if she needs something by fussing or crying. She can also let you know when she likes something or someone by looking intently. Babies learn best how to tell parents what they like or don’t like when they begin to see that parents respond to them in positive ways.

 
Even before she can speak, you need to talk to your baby. Even though there are differences among individuals, babies whose parents talk to them talk sooner. They also have larger vocabularies. Talking to babies gives them language skills that will help them learn more easily when they get to school. Hearing words on the radio or TV is not very helpful to babies learning language. Your baby benefits from having you up close smiling, talking and singing.

Babies learn by exploring the things around them. Show your baby how to look at, listen to, touch or smell something new or different. Hold your baby so she can see things. Help her hold objects like her socks or a rattle. As she grows, give her safe objects to feel, shake or put into her mouth.

·        Be your baby’s teacher. She will see how you react to things. When you get excited about a toy or object, she’ll get excited too. As she grows, show her how things work—for example, how doors open and close. Talk about what you are doing. For example, “I am putting the food in the pot to cook it.” 

·        When a baby is learning something new, it helps her to try it again and again. With your help and support this can be fun, and your baby will like trying new things.

·        Protect your baby from harsh disapproval, teasing or punishment. A baby doesn’t understand right from wrong. She doesn’t know what things are dangerous for her to do. Watch her to keep her safe. Remove her from situations where she can be hurt or injured.

·        Talk and sing to your baby. Even before she is able to speak, this helps her develop language skills. Babies learn best when you talk to them.

·        Read to your baby from the earliest months of her life and continue this habit as she grows.

Babies Have People Skills, Too

From the start, your baby is interested in your face. She notices your expressions and tone of voice. She reacts to your emotions. For example, when you say something in a soft and loving way, she will relax and feel more secure.

Scientists have learned that babies show emotions as early as when they are one month old. Something else scientists have learned is that feeling good helps babies learn better.

Why? Happy babies are more alert, attentive and responsive. Babies remember things better when they are happy and at ease. The way you hold and talk to your baby can help her feel happy.

Babies who are alert and feeling good are more likely to look at things, explore and play. They will pay attention more. For example, they will try to make new things happen with toys or make sounds with people. This helps them learn and remember new things.

Brief periods of distress or difficulty will occur. These will not harm a child. Short periods of negative emotions can be helpful for your baby. You should do something quickly to help her feel better. From this she will learn you care about what she tries to tell you. Long periods of negative emotion, like crying, can do harm.

In the first month, the negative emotion that occurs is distress or a response to pain. Later, she will show sadness and anger. Next comes fear. All people have these emotions to protect themselves. Help your baby be at ease with having emotions. Respond to her emotions in a warm and loving way.

You can tell what your baby is feeling by changes in her facial expression. You can also see what she is feeling by her posture, movements and the sounds she makes.
