Encouraging your baby to practice their new skills and providing them with opportunities for exploration and discovery can help facilitate their development.- Your baby is constantly expanding their knowledge and abilities. This continuous cycle of learning and growth is essential for their overall development and sets the foundation for future learning and success.
