From the developmental viewpoint a baby’s first experiences are sensory and largely come through feeding. It makes sense that once a baby can reach out and grasp things he wants to find out what they are really like by putting them in his mouth.
It is at this point that earrings, necklaces and eye glasses are discovered and pulled at, and we can no longer hold the baby and have a cup of coffee at the same time. Parents will want to think about what will satisfy their baby’s curiosity as their child begins to give them clear indications that he wants to handle and put various objects into his mouth. You will notice this at ages four to six months.
A seated, immobile baby is entirely at our mercy as to the kind of playthings or environment we offer him. In spite of its different colors or design, a plastic rattle feels, smells and tastes much like any other plastic rattle from a baby’s point of view. Yet all around him is house full of objects just waiting to be discovered.
