Soft-voice lullaby
Parent sings or hums any lullaby — in any language, from any tradition — while holding baby. Agent holds space rather than instructs. Observations track baby's vocal attention and any return-vocalization.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Hold baby in whatever position is comfortable. Dim light is nice but not required.
