<\/p><\/div>"} 1 Play. When you're acting like a baby, lots of your time should be spent engaged in play, which makes up the primarily learning method in the baby's world. Babies tend to favor smooth, rounded objects like plastic rings and other simple-to-hold toys, as well as things that make noise, like rattles, drums, and bells. Simple pictures are also captivating to babies, and babies spend a lot time staring at faces.[4] Before language, babies try to figure out as much of the world as they can through touch and through sight, literally feeling their way around. When babies play, a lot of the time they'll be not playing like you might have played with toys when older, making up stories and scenes with action figures, or building things with blocks, but just figuring out how things feel, instead.

When you're playing as a baby, don't worry about actually playing, just worry about feeling objects and imagine that you're seeing things for the first time. Find your "baby mind."

<\/p><\/div>"} 2 Be amazed and confused by everything you find. When you're pretending to be a baby, it's important to really put yourself into a childlike frame of mind. Imagine that everything you're seeing is being seen for the first time. Stare for a long time at the couch and at the family pet. Try to really figure out what's going on with your pacifier. Your fingers should be amazing and bizarre. Wiggle your toes, kick, roll around. If you can trick yourself into being amazed, you'll be closer to that "baby mind" that before, and will be acting like a baby.

<\/p><\/div>"} 3 Take longer naps more often during the day. Babies sleep a lot, so acting like a baby is a perfect excuse to get in some daytime rest. Nap time is a great way to start acting like a baby. Try taking an hour-long nap in the late morning or in the early afternoon. Newborn babies will tend to sleep sometime between 10.5 and 18 hours during the day, with a normal sleep pattern(of a few hours less) beginning at about 6 months of age.

<\/p><\/div>"} 4 Use a pacifier. To calm babies, plastic pacifiers are often used to provide the baby something to mouth, as when feeding. Getting a pacifier to use during naps and nighttime rest can be comforting and get you into baby-mind. Most of the time, babies will find that their fingers can replace the need for the pacifier, which is one of the big discoveries and independent moments in the baby's development, when they don't need to rely on the parent for the pacifier.

You can suck your thumb if you like as it can be very soothing. To calm babies, plastic pacifiers are often used to provide the baby something to mouth, as when feeding. Getting a pacifier to use during naps and nighttime rest can be comforting and get you into baby-mind.

5 Start crawling. Crawl around, or take hesitant steps. Babies don't run or walk around at full stride, they crawl and take very hesitant steps, usually balanced against something. Instead, get on your hands and knees and scoot around as if you hadn't yet learned to walk. Sometimes babies will also scoot, by sitting up and sticking the legs out straight in front, then bringing them back in to move forward slightly. It's funny to watch and can be a good way to look like a baby. Crawl around, or take hesitant steps.

<\/p><\/div>"} 6 Eat baby food. Want to go all the way into baby land, you've got to eat from a spoon. Baby food is usually blended vegetable and meat mixtures fortified with vitamins necessary for early childhood development. Essentially, though, it's what you eat already, just in mushy blended form. Eat foods like applesauce, yogurt, banana slices, cheerios, and other bite-sized finger foods.[5] Baby food tends to be high calorie and kind of tasteless. For an adult alternative that will get you the same texture and experience, try blending root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and turnips in the blender and having a cold blended soup, served with a spoon like a baby might eat. You can season it like you like and eat in as if you were in a high chair. If none of those dishes appeal to you, don't worry or force yourself to eat something unpleasant. Try some yummy pudding instead. Remember, this is about feeling good and having fun.

Put your food on trays with separate compartments and eat with your hands. Don't be afraid to make a mess. It's expected. No utensils.

Pour juice, milk, and other drinks into sippy cups with a lid on them to keep spills from happening and to keep you from gulping them too quickly, or put your drink into baby bottles to get a real baby impression going. Use regular cows milk or an alternative instead of formula, since formula might be difficult for you to digest at this stage in your development.
