Infant games on this page teach you how to take care of your baby, and also help you to teach your baby when you are taking care of him or her.

#1 Among Infant games For infant care -- Bonding

baby-play Bonding is to spent time listening, looking, talking, holding, playing, eating, singing and learning together with your baby. It is sending baby a clear message, through your actions, that you care deeply about him or her. Some of your greatest chances for your time together in the form of feeding, diapering, napping, bathing, and dressing. This daily routine provides regular times for you and baby to be close and learn from each other. So take ten minutes every day to visualize the sort of relationship you want to have with your baby when he or she grows up.

#2 Among Infant games For infant care --- Diapering

Suitable for aged 0-3 months babies

baby-diappering When baby is talking about what you are doing while diapering. Talk to baby about what is going on, and name the parts of baby's body when you touch them. Here are some ways to involve your baby: say, "I'm going to change your diaper," " You can help me by holding still." When Diapering, it is also a perfect opportunity to softly massage baby's feet, legs stomach, back, face and hands. You may add rhymes or sing songs while applying massage on your baby. And you may also consider to touch or rub baby's skin with various textures, such as a feather,and piece of velvet. Or have a small, colorful beach ball roll it up and down baby's tummy. Hang a mirror alongside the changing table so baby has a good view when being changed.

#3 Among Infant games For infant care --- Baby's cry

Suitable for aged 0 and up babies

baby-cry Baby's cry can arouse a wide range of feelings like worry, fear, frustration, anger, disappointment, and sadness. When baby cries, try your best to find out why. Once you've done the best to try all the possibilities of visible physical symptoms why your baby is crying. That's okay. You may ask baby why he or she is crying and leave space for him or her to respond. Setting up this two-way communication even before baby speaks recognizable words is very important, establishing a healthful pattern for your growing relationship. When baby cries and if you don't understand why, hold your baby, or place him or her on a cozy blanket on the floor. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, exhaling slowly, and remember that crying is part of being alive and being human; it is also baby's unique language and form of communication.

#4 Among Infant games For infant care --- Baby's Safety

Suitable for aged 3 months and up babies

baby-safety Although movement is limited during the first few months of life, it is still possible for babies to wiggle and turn themselves into potential danger. Check all areas of a room baby might be able to squirm, wiggle, roll, or scoot to. Never leave baby on a high surface alone. Get down on the floor and check for things that baby could pull on, crawl into, crawl under, chew and swallow, squeeze, or throw.


1)Cover electrical outlets and all heaters.

2)Protect baby from windows and mirrors that are not shatterproof.

3)Tie up all drapery cords or any kind of string

4)Get rid of slippery throw rugs and poisonous plants

5)Crib and other furniture for baby must meet consumer-protection safety standards. Crib mattress must fit snugly so baby can't get stuck between the mattress and side of the crib and smother.

6)keep all medicines and cleaning materials out of baby's reach.

7)Allow no toys with small parts that can come off and be swallowed by baby.

8)Make sure all toys and materials are nontoxic.

#5 Among Infant games For infant care --- Daily Routine

Suitable for aged 3 months and up babies

baby-discipline Babies love routine. If you can make some sort of routine going, your life will be easier, and baby will know what to expect. More important, you will have a plan. It is a good idea to build your daily routing around what baby already does. So make notes when your baby eats and sleeps. After a few days, you will see a pattern developing. Decide on a time close to baby's patterned time and follow through for a week eating or sleeping at that time. This gives you time to schedule your own life, creating a calmer and more assured parent. This daily routine will also make it easier for other caretakers to care for your baby.

#6 Among Infant games For infant care ---baby potty training

Suitable for 18-24 months babies

baby-potty-training

Here is an idea for your baby's potty training. Make a book titled "Bye Bye Diapers, hello potty". Write a short story about your child and imaginary-character friends. The story should be about how they learn to use the toilet, and add the reward in using the toilet into your book which baby can see at home. Remember most children love to hear stories about themselves.

#7 Among Infant games For infant care ---- Teach babies to get dressed on their own

Suitable for Aged 18 months and up babies

baby-dress-up While you are getting dressed, have a little fun teaching baby the names of clothes, such as socks, shoes, T-shirt, pants, etc. Put two articles of clothing out on the floor next to baby and say," baby touch the (clothing)." Wait a minute for baby to respond, then say," let's put the (clothing) on!" Replace the article of clothing with another and repeat until baby is dressed. This is one of great infant games to teach babies to get dressed by themselves.
