The baby discovers his hands

By the third month of age, the baby has a growing interest in everything around him, a new world for him. But not only begins to discover spaces, toys, different situations ... but also discovers a little of his own body. By three months, the baby discovers his hands.

Together with his first words, we are facing a great step to be aware of himself. The key to this breakthrough is that the baby is able to perceive the smallest details quite well, and can focus almost at any distance, which makes it easier for him to focus his gaze on his hands, so close to his eyes.

It is also now when the baby has much more control over their own movements, especially those of the head, but also of the arms, although there is still a long way to completely control the hands and make coordinated movements.

What you can do is open and close them and begin improving eye-hand coordination. You will learn the posture of your arms in front of the body with your hands clasped. Some babies will learn to direct their hands to their mouths to suck a finger or fist. Then you will discover its usefulness to manipulate your environment.

All these advances in the development of the baby makes it possible for him to spend long moments moving and observing his hands in detail, to start sucking them, shake them when he sees something he likes and can separate and put them together.

We are facing baby's first toy, which is also free and gives a lot of play, worth the redundancy. Now we are going to show him what his little hands are, we are going to move them before them, we will caress them by opening and closing his fist, we will tell him the fingers ... The time has come for "the five little wolves"!
