  1. 5 Ways to Play with Your Baby at Every Stage from 0- 12 months from a Physical Therapy Perspective. Continuing on our series “5 Ways to Play with Your Baby at Each Stage from 0-12 Months” is our fabulous Physical Therapist Lauren Yoshida sharing her ideas to encourage physical development through play. 0-3 Months 1.Present toys to your baby that are visually attractive, such as toys that make noise or that flash colors. Move the toy from side to side while your baby is laying on his/her back for visual tracking. 2.Tummy time! While baby is laying on his/her belly, hold a toy in front of them while slowly raising the toy off the surface to encourage your baby to lift his/her head higher off the surface while pushing on his/her arms. 3.While on their tummy, bring their favorite toys from one side of their face to another to encourage them to turn their head to find the toy! Lots of little ones also love faces, so get down to their level and let them find mama/daddy’s face!

  2. 4.Gently stroke the back of your baby’s hands to encourage the baby to open their hands from a closed/ fisted position. 5.Have your baby lay on his/her back while you hold their favorite toy above their chest. Encourage your little one to reach for the toy with both hands. If they need help initiating the movement, gently brush the toy over their arms or assist with raising their arms to the toy. 4-6 Months 1.Place your baby on his/her tummy. Hold their favorite toy in front of their face and slowly raise it so it is out of reach. Encourage your baby to reach for the toy with one hand at a time, or alternating arms.
