Quote

Play time for a young infant may look pretty boring to an untrained adult eye. We feel compelled to entertain a baby…, or believe that she needs to be kept stimulated by continually moving with us through our daily affairs in a carrier or infant seat. Truthfully, babies don’t need us to expend our energy occupying their time. In fact, keeping a baby busy undermines her natural desire to be an initiator of her own activities and absorb the world on her terms.
