Also included is a description of typical behavior for a 3-month-old and answers to commonly asked questions. The pamphlet then describes infant emotional development and suggests games to play, things to do, and ways to help the baby learn. Mothers' needs for exercise, relaxation, and social and emotional support are also discussed. The pamphlet concludes with a list of information resources. (KB)
