Raising a newborn is tough, it is not always cuddles and kisses, it is also sleepless nights, worrying about colics, and always fussing about the best way to raise your little one. There are so many ways to raise newborns on the Internet that we are plagued with choices, and we often forget that parenting is a learning curve. Just like your newborn is learning and understanding new things, so are you! Having your own unique approach to raising a child helps build a unique environment for your baby to be raised in. Having said that, there are, however, some things that can be an aid for your baby to grow and thrive, and optimize the learning environment you want to create for your baby.  Here are 5 recommendations for things you should be introducing to your newborn. 

Flashcards For Newborns-  A set of high contrast flashcards helps visually stimulate your baby and aids their focus and attention span. They stimulate the visual sensory pathways to your newborn’s brain and facilitate brain development in Newborns. We recommend this set of flashcards that will effectively aid in sensory stimulation for your newborn. These are large and interactive cards that are easy to grip and are easily portable for a fun lesson anywhere. It comes with a set of 18 cards, a parental guide, and a tracking calendar for a fun and wholesome learning experience. 

Touch And Feel Storybooks-  Touch and feel storybooks are another excellent way to stimulate brain development by incorporating two key sensory centers- touch and vision. Through texture and sights, your baby’s brain is given enough impetus to grow and generate many neural connections that accelerate growth. When you say the story aloud, you are also involving the sensory activity of hearing making touch and feel storybooks a holistic approach towards brain development. We love this Ocean Baby Cloth book with adorable drawings of the fun sea world with varying textures for your baby to hold and learn! 

Talk To Your Baby, Make Them Hear And Listen- Often learning does not have to come with a price tag, you yourself can promote learning for your baby that can help them grow. Talk to your baby as much as possible- your baby develops skills for language and linguistics from a young age, and talking to them using words in your native tongue or English can help establish a strong background in language learning for your baby. Learning new words and sounds can help your baby’s brain grow efficiently! 

Texture- A great way to help in the fulfillment of newborn milestones is getting your baby to grip and feel objects of varying textures. Get them to squeeze, grip, and feel different toys and textures to develop their hand-to-eye coordination and broaden their ability to work and play with different objects. Make sure that these toys come in contrasting colors like red and blue, to give that added boost of visual stimulation for a holistic learning sesh! 

Skin to Skin- Nurturing your baby’s emotional and mental needs is key for well-rounded development. Make sure that you and your partner are devoting enough time for skin-to-skin time with your baby, as it deepens bonding between you and your child, and creates an environment of safety and emotional security for your baby. To ensure that your child has a stable and comfortable attachment with you is ensuring that your child has a stable background for other mental and brain developments to take place. Increase more facetime with your baby, let me learn new and distinguish between faces, spend more time reading stories aloud to your child while having them rested in your chest, for a loving skin-to-skin session of bonding!
