I natter to her, read to her, sing to her and show her things. Is there more that I could/should be doing? She seems contented enough, but I worry I'm not doing the right things.

at that age they are entertained by the world itself :)

don't overstimulate or they get grumpy

my dd loved me showing her pull colorfull pages from Argos catalogues
mostly loved purple colour and got excited by them

yo ucoudl learn how to do baby massage and expose her to different textures by letting her holding it, lying her on them

At 2 months you don't need to become a carbaret act... You are doing more than enough.

I think just chattering away to them makes them feel part of the family, loved and secure.

Do you have one of those baby gyms? Mine like to lay on there checking out the dangling animals and noisy things.

And being in the pram can be wildly exciting to a little one ( then they go to sleep from sheer excitement...).

Love and feeding is what they want at that age.

You are doing fine .... But I know I always felt I was missing some big thing somewhere...

what you are doing sounds just perfect Smile. mine both liked a change of scene from time to time - park, cafe, shopping centre, anything really.
