I am afraid that I am not quite playing with my son. It is 8 wks old. I'm not sure what kind of toys or stimulus should I use with him. He doesn 't really close to a crackling and stuffed animals can cause SIDS. He loves swinging in his swing and look at the mobile which is above it. I read to him every night. I bought toys for his manger - aquarium lights and sounds that attacks the inner part of the rack and some educational toys. What should I do to keep it stimulated and to help develop his brain?

Buy him black and whit books.. set them up in front of him while he is laying on his belly..
You can hold and dance with him while singing to him…
Just talking to him and giving him eye contact would be great for him too right now..
make sure he is getting tummy time too…
Also try and cut back on the swing and all the toys in the bed.. the mobile is fine, but you want him to know his bed is a place of rest and not be overwhelmed while sleeping..
stuffed animals are okay if you are using them to play with him with.. not for his bed.. like panda bears.. because they are black and white babies love those..
also try starting to find stuff he can hold.. thats light weight and is ribbed so he can chew on them and feel the different textures..
