(0-3 years)
Infants go through a lot of developmental growth within the first year of life. You will see many changes from rolling over, crawling, and then possibly walking.
Infants gain knowledge by learning through their senses. They develop the trust of their caregivers in this same manner using hearing and vision. Providing comforting sounds and touch during pouch changes can be beneficial. Using light up toys, soft music as well as a pacifier can be beneficial distractions. Remember to use a soothing voice to talk to them and comfort them during pouch changes. They are learning to trust their caregivers and those around them. They will also start exploring their environment and learning cause and effect. Infants respond well to distraction so having some favorite motion toys, mobiles or music on hand when changing the pouching system can be very helpful.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.
