The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Babies start playing from the moment they're born — the form of play just changes with age. For a newborn, play is looking at your face, listening to your voice, and grasping your finger. Around 2-3 months, reaching for objects and putting things in their mouth begins. From 6 months on, simple back-and-forth games like "peek-a-boo" make sense. By 12 months, pushing, pulling, nesting, and copying games appear. There's no "starting age" for play; every eye contact, smile, and silly sound you make with your baby is play to them.
