Face To Face Communication

In the first two months, your baby could focus on your face best in your arms from 8 – 12 inches away. In his everyday interactions, it is still your lively face that captures his attention. You can see how your baby’s expressive communication repertoire is expanding. Babies smile in response to smiles, and also prompt smiles in others.

Your baby’s face-to-face interactions are really whole-body experiences. When babies and parents gaze and smile at each other, they respond with their whole body. When your baby sees your animated face, he responds from head to toe, with a little body wriggle, open hands and beaming face – just for you!
