What your baby learns by looking at your face

Babies are naturally fixated with faces. Studying facial features and expressions teaches them how to focus and informs them about communication, language, emotions, and

social engagement 

To make the most of your child’s fascination with faces:

• Sit or lie close to your baby and at their level so they can see your face.
• Use the opportunity to talk, sing, make funny faces, and strengthen your connection.
• Pay attention to cues that they need a break because they’re hungry or tired.
