Babies naturally want to grab, twist, squeeze, and explore everything around them. Rather than stopping this curiosity, the pediatrician recommends encouraging safe exploration. “Let your baby explore different textures and shapes.” He says these moments are actually important learning experiences.
“When a baby twists, turns, or even breaks things apart, they’re learning through trial and error.” Exploring different objects, textures, and shapes allows babies to learn by experimenting with the world around them.
