Let's face the music – watch as your baby makes sense of new sounds

What you need 

• Music – this could be a song, TV soundtrack, instruments, or even mix it up with animal sounds! 

What to do 

1. Play some music to your baby. 
2. Watch your baby’s facial muscles move as they try to tune into the sounds they hear. 
3. You might notice movements that you haven’t seen before. 
4. Try exploring various types of sounds when you play. Watch to see if your baby moves differently for different sounds. 

Good to know 

Listening to joyful or calming sounds while your baby is upset might distract them and help their facial and mouth muscles relax.
