What should you actually do during your baby’s awake time? 🤔✨
Those wake windows aren’t just about “keeping baby awake until nap time.” They’re an opportunity to fill your baby’s cup with connection, movement, and learning!
Here’s a simple rhythm to follow:
🍼 Eat
Start with a full feeding so your baby has the calories they need to grow and sleep well. A well-fed baby is a happier baby!
🤸 Tummy Time
Build those important muscles for rolling, sitting, crawling, and all the exciting milestones ahead.
🎶 Play
Talk, sing, read books, explore toys, and soak up those little moments together.
🌈 Sensory Play
Let your baby explore different textures, sounds, sights, and movements to support their developing brain.
🌙 Nap Time/Bedtime Routine
A predictable routine helps signal that sleep is coming and gives your baby a sense of security.
💤 Sleep
After all that growing, learning, and exploring… it’s time to recharge!
Remember, awake time doesn’t have to be packed with activities. The best “activity” for your baby is often simply connecting with you. 🤍
