Newborns from 3 months of age onwards gradually have more expressions than when they were first born. At this time, the baby’s vision and hearing also begin to improve, so the baby can better grasp colors and sounds. Therefore, everyone needs to consider carefully when choosing toys for a 3-month-old baby. Let’s take a look at the top toys for 3-month-old babies with DailySavingz below:
Characteristics of 3-month-old newborns
A 3-month-old newborn knows how to suck and turn their head instinctively when you rub their cheek. They also grasp anything placed in their hand. If you gently tilt their head back, they will jerk their arms and open their eyes.
A baby’s vision is only 20/200. Newborns can only see clearly within a range of 20-25cm with the object placed in front of them. Babies love to look at contrasting colors (such as black and white), so mothers can make black and white toys for newborns. When a baby is nearly 3 months old, they can see objects placed in front of them from 30-60cm. They can stare and follow objects with their eyes as they are moved up and down, left and right.
In addition, during this period, babies love to explore and recognize their surroundings, and newborns are very excited to see people’s faces. Babies also begin to express their needs to others by crying. Around 2 months, babies begin to make cooing sounds. They begin to smile and even laugh out loud.
