Why it helps
Connects hearing and head control — early localization practice.
How to do it
- During alert time, shake a soft rattle out of view to one side
- Give your baby time to turn toward the sound
- Reward the turn with your face and a cheer; alternate sides
Stop if there's never any reaction to sounds across days — mention it at the next checkup.
