Wondering how to actually play with a newborn? In today’s episode, I’m answering one mom’s question that many new parents have: “How do I play with my baby when they’re so little?”

As a Pediatric Developmental Therapist, I walk you through 7 easy and powerful ways to bond with your newborn while supporting their development in the first weeks of life. These aren’t complicated or time-consuming—they’re intentional and nurturing.

You'll learn:

• Why eye contact builds social-emotional skills

• How skin-to-skin and gentle touch support regulation

• What high-contrast visuals do for early vision

• How to use your voice, babywearing, and sensory play to spark early learning

Whether you're a new mom soaking in the snuggles or a parent looking to make the most of your baby's early days, this episode will give you confidence and connection as you nurture your newborn.
