This would help develop her sense of touch.

3. Provide your baby high-contrast toys such as mobiles with black-and-white or primary color patterns, or hang them in the crib.
These would help stimulate the parts of the brain controlling vision.

4. Play “Pat-a-Cake” while you hold your baby and gently move her hands.

5. Sing to your baby. Change the pitch of your voice from high to low. Doing so will help hold her attention.

8. Get a crib mobile and hang it on your baby’s crib. When your baby is quiet and awake, she will gaze at it.
This will help arouse her interest in the world outside the crib.
