what are some good ways to entertain my sisters newborn?

get him some toys..make faces ...

Your doing good by talking and singing to her. I can't remember when they start to see your full face but once she can focus on your face they like looking at people and your helping her communication skills by talkind and singing to her. Enjoy her they grow up too fast and then they are into everything and everywhere lol. You can read books to her if you run out of things to say to her.

With a 2 week old that is about all there is to do. Just talk to them. That's all I ever did. Or just stare at them because they like to look at faces.

I have a 4 week (one month) old baby now and no he does not play with toys. In fact I don't believe he knows what a toy is or what to do with it. But he does love to look around, so yes walking with him or just sitting him upright will put a smile on the little one's face. Oh and plenty of talking, they love to hear your voice. You may even want to just rub their back, he seems to enjoy that the most.

You're not wasting your time at all. A great thing to do is to wear the newborn in a sling so they can get a different view and tell them what you are doing. They are like little sponges when they are that little. You don't need any toys, you are the best "toy" for a newborn.

i jus gav birth to amale child 3 months ago. I always look at him and whenever he wakes up we will jus talk to him like my preety darling and othere chellam words, he don like to understand but observes all the actions and voices from so keep on talking and smiling at him and hug him for a long time.. ok ..Now my child started to smile at me always with a loving look. so all the best for YOu also to become a mom.

get her some soft toys that makes sounds.... and of coz music is also good entertainment..

You are definitely not wasting your time talking and singing to her. She may not seem to respond but babies thrive on that type of affectionate attention. Also touch is very important at that stage. Congratulations on having a beautiful niece and also on your pregnancy.

You're not wasting your time at all. She may not understand what you're saying, but she does understand the welcome and love.

I felt this exact same way when I had my daughter. They just stare at you and you feel so silly. I did a lot of moving her arms like she was dancing and bicylcing her legs to get them stronger. I talked and read to her, listened to music. Most of the time I just walked around the house and showed her things. Making faces is fun too. It all gets kind of repetative and boring for you but they do fall asleep and then you can do adult things and feel refreshed whent hey wake up again. Congrats on the pregnancy for you too, at least you get to practice and somewhat be prepared when your little one comes.

Talking and singing are the perfect things to do. Bonding is really important right now, and you simply do that by spending time with them. Lots of talking and singing in a gentle, soft voice. Lots of cuddling too. You can also put them on their tummy to help them strengthen their neck and arms. And dangling toys in front of them as well, to help their eyes focus and follow. Have fun with them !

just make funny sounds it works everytime with my little bro.

if i am in your place and really want to make har happy, i will try everything! i'll play her the pik-a-boo thing, or dance to her, everything. if really want to do a thing, you should try your best! goodluck

to tell story and sing music,and do some play

Aww...this is a sweet question lol. You may feel like you are talking to yourself, but you actually aren't. Babies as young as your niece can't see very clearly or far (although I've read that they can see their mother's face perfectly), but they have excellent hearing. When you talk to her and sing to her she is being stimulated and is learning to recognize you by your voice. As she gets older she will not view you as a stranger because she'll know you by your voice. Babies actually don't need a whole lot of purposeful entertaining. Just looking around the room at the different colors (as blurry as they may be lol) and listening to all the sounds around them is stimulation in itself. You're obviously a very loving aunt and I'm sure you'll make a fine mother. Congrats.

At that age, there really isn't a lot that you can do. I mean all she does is eat, sleep and dirty diapers. Just talk to her, sing if she likes it. I love that age, all because of that except for the night time feedings. You can also read to her, might sound pointless but you be amazed. If you read to her from day 1 til she get's older, she love to be read to, then later on read to you. When your baby comes, just read to her/him. Talk to your child all the time. That's about it, til the baby get's a little older. Just have fun and enjoy it.

Newborns tend to only sleep, eat and toilet! so u shouldn't need to entertain them that much, but i know all my sisters children enjoyed music. so i would play piano or guitar and sing to them ;)

Of course you are not wasting your time by talking to the new born . Even if the little one can't respond to you in the manner an older child will do, the baby is defenitely listening to you. By hearing your sound, by feeling your touch etc. the baby learns to distinguish you from others! You continue doing that and you can see the result just within a time of 2 or 3 weeks. When the baaby is in a crowded room you call/ talk to her - You can see her respose to your familiar sound. So talk to her, sing to her, and coo to her whenever she is awake - the little one will grow faster, feeling more happiness and security .

New born does not need much entertainment. massage properly, give a good bath and keep her stomach full.
