Use a loose swaddle or pacifier to help Baby get to a calm, alert state. Prop Baby up on your legs, with their head by your knees for support. Use your voice and face to get Baby to look at you. See if they can follow you from side to side.

Helps baby reach an alert state, so they are ready to play, work on their vision, including tracking, work on their head control and engage with you.
