Normal Development:

• Depth perception begins to develop (3-7 months)

What You Can Do:

• Allow your baby to explore different surfaces whenever possible (grass, sand) and talk about how they feel different
• Play with toys in the bath (containers and cups)

• Toys with different textures

• Toys they can explore with their mouth

• Take your baby in their stroller over different types of surfaces (bumpy, smooth, etc.) and talk about how they feel different

Our Advice:

• Give your baby plenty of opportunities to explore with his or her body and mouth, and try not to panic about germs.
