Postnatal
Stimulation of Babies
Based on the same principles of prenatal, postnatal stimulation seeks to promote
teaching babies after they are born by optimizing their mental, sensorial, social and
affective development.
When the baby is born their behavior is basically a reflex; then step by step with all
the stimulation that the baby receives, they begin to act intentionally. Babies will
explore and get to know the characteristics of the objects around them through different
forms, textures and colors. Later on they will realize the differences and similarities
and will learn how to categorize things around them. For example, when a baby is born,
they do not know the difference between mom and a stranger. When they touch the crib they
are unable to distinguish this from a part of their own body. The relationship with family
will teach them their individuality. Soon your baby will learn to love, to listen, to
rebel and all of the normal emotions that occur under different circumstances.
Learn to observe the progress of your wonderful child. Enjoy watching them grow, trust
them... Make your baby feel loved.
