Helping Your Baby Become More Alert

If your baby is awake but not paying much attention to you, you can help him become more alert.

To help your baby become more alert, try these three techniques:

Option A:

-If your baby is wrapped in a blanket, unwrap him. (If it's chilly unwrap just his arms.)

-Hold your baby in an upright position on your lap or shoulder.

-Talk to your baby. Change how fast you talk and the pitch of your voice. (Babies usually like high-pitched voices.)

Option B:

-Hold your baby about 8 to 10 inches from your face.

-Talk to your baby.

Option C:

-Hold your hand above your baby's eyes.

-Shade your baby's eyes from the lights.
