Does a 2-month-old baby play on a play mat?

Yes, they do. For a 2-month-old baby, a play mat means looking at the hanging toys while lying on their back, reaching out their hand for a few seconds, and following high-contrast black-and-white patterns with their eyes. This is quite rich stimulation for them. Visual tracking begins, and when accidental arm flailing bumps hanging toys, the first seeds of cause-and-effect understanding are sown. Brief periods, 3–5 minutes daily under supervision, are enough. It's important that the mat is not overstimulating—one hanging toy or a mirror is sufficient; too much tires the baby.
