Sahiba Madaan on Instagram: "✨ Playtime = Learning Time! ✨ From 0 months to 1 year, your baby’s world is all about discovering, bonding, and growing. 💕 Play is their way of learning, and here’s how you can engage with them at every stage: 👶 0-2 months: Snuggles, lullabies, and simple interactions like eye contact are perfect to build trust and connection. 👶 2-4 months: Introduce rattles, mirrors, and gentle movements to help them explore sounds and sights. 👶 4-6 months: Peek-a-boo, texture play, and sensory activities encourage their curiosity and sensory skills. 👶 6-8 months: Babies start exploring more—think object permanence, imitation, and hands-on activities like playing with maracas or bubbles. 👶 8-12 months: Encourage independence with stacking blocks, turning book pages

It’s about finding the right words to guide them through tough moments, to help them understand themselves and others, and to equip them with the tools they need to thrive. But let’s be real, parenting isn’t easy. There’s no script, and sometimes the pressure of trying to “do it all” leaves us feeling stretched too thin. I’ve been there, feeling overwhelmed, wishing I had more time to be the present, intentional mom I wanted to be while also contributing financially to my family. That’s why I found a solution, no
