In those early months and years you'll want to nurture your little one's curiosity and help them grow and learn in an enjoyable way. Make learning fun with activity and educational baby toys, from tummy time rolls and playmats for encouraging rolling, sitting and moving, to teething toys and baby rattles to stimulate their senses. It's also never too early to introduce story books and cuddly toys to help them to develop communication, emotions and socialisation skills. Read our blog post on how to make learning fun here.

Your baby's firsts are amazing to watch. But from their first smile to their first words, every baby is different - so it's important that you don't compare your baby's milestones to other children's. However, it can be helpful to know when you can expect to see them reach their first milestones, so if your little one needs a helping hand along the way, you can encourage their development.

Generally, the first month will see your little one responding to sound, making eye contact and lifting their head. Some babies might start smiling at this age, or have the ability to follow objects around the room with their eyes.

In the second month, your baby may be able to make cooing sounds, follow objects and hold their head up for short periods. Some babies at this age can recognise voices and smile responsively.

At three months old, most babies can hold their head steady and recognise faces, some babies start to laugh and may be able to bring their hands together.

In the fourth month, most babies can bear weight on their legs and coo. Some babies can reach out and grasp objects and might start to cut their first tooth.

At five months, many babies can roll over from their tummy to their back and often play with their own feet and hands. Some babies may sit for a short while without support.

In their sixth month in the world, most babies can imitate sounds and are ready for solid foods. Some babies may start crawling or recognising their own name.

Baby playmats are perfect to help with your child's development, and are a fun way to stimulate your baby’s senses and encourage them to reach for objects. Playmats are often used by parents wanting to keep their children safe whilst they're learning to roll and develop. Typically, playmats are brightly coloured, so they also help to stimulate their senses. The main benefits of letting your little one play on an activity mat are to improve hand eye coordination and fine motor skills, stimulate senses and to give them an interesting addition to their daily routine.
