Mirror face time

You need

baby-safe (non-glass) mirror

How

During tummy time or held upright, put a baby-safe mirror ~25 cm from baby's face. Let them study the "other baby". Name what they see: "there are your eyes!". No self-recognition expected — fascination is the goal.

Why this matters

Faces are the most information-rich stimulus for infants, and the mirror delivers a perfectly synced, endlessly patient one. It feeds face-processing circuits and doubles as premium tummy-time motivation.
