About this milestone

The first week is mostly sleeping, feeding and getting to know each other's voices. Every baby moves at their own pace, so there is nothing to check off yet; your voice is the best music they know.

Milestones by age, from the CDC

Sing it together

Tap their palm softly on each "tap tap tap" and pat their tummy on "pat pat pat".
