0- 12 months: What can the baby do?
A few months old baby is already good at exploring the world with his body. They discover and learn through their senses. Baby's eyes, ears, nose, hands and mouth are all "tools" for children to explore the environment.
So the baby likes to stare at the toys hanging above the crib, listen to his mother, hum children's songs, and put his fingers and toys in his mouth to taste ... these are the ways for children to explore.
What is the baby learning?
Through these exploration methods, babies can learn and understand what "causality" is.

"Because it lights up when you press the light" (so there is a reason why children like to play with mobile phones and remote controls).

Usually when the baby is 8 months old, he has learned to "talk" with his parents by means of "staring", "gesture", "facial expression" and "voice", all of which are "telling" his parents their feelings, their thoughts and things they are interested in.

We don't even need toys to play with children under one year old. Let children treat their parents as "toys". We can imitate the baby's voice, encourage the baby to learn our voice, sing to the baby and describe what just happened to the baby ... even if the baby really can't "talk", don't forget to "talk" to the baby more.
At the same time, in order to make children have a richer sensory experience, then we have to accept the behavior of children putting any toys into their mouths. Of course, for the sake of children's safety, we should pay attention to providing only toys that are hygienic and safe and not easy to cause suffocation and swallowing risks.
