How to Give a Son a Zerbert or Raspberry

Tickling your son with raspberries is a sensation that will send him into giggles. Choose an area of skin such as his neck or tummy and blow a raspberry. He's likely to arch and giggle, and you'll have a baby game to play with your child.

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

1. Lay your son flat on his back.

2. Lift his shirt or remove it if it's warm enough. If your child dislikes getting dressed or undressed, this baby game can help make that process more enjoyable for him.

3. Kneel down so you're over the top of your son. Hold your weight on your knees and elbows. Make sure the baby has plenty of room to wiggle around.

4. Hold your son's arms up so he doesn't pull your hair in his excitement.

5. Place your lips on his tummy and blow, keeping your mouth closed as you do so. Make sure you aren't pushing down or applying pressure to his tummy.

6. Enhance the tickling sensation of this baby game by quickly moving your head side to side as you blow on his tummy.

7. Repeat a few times. Be careful not to blow raspberries for too long, as it can be painful for the baby to laugh for long periods of time.
