A tour of small household sounds
Somewhere between about one and three months babies reach their first hearing milestones, and turning the head towards where a sound came from is one of them. Your house is already full of small sounds worth turning for.
🧺 You need
- a wooden spoon
- a mug
- a paper bag
🛡️ Test every sound at your own ear first and keep it soft — a sound that is fine for you is louder to them. Everything happens off to one side and at arm's length, never close to an ear, and nothing that makes a noise goes into their hands or stays behind when you leave. One startle ends the whole tour, not just that sound.
