It is true that your baby craves new experiences. Nobody is as curious and inquisitive as a baby. Animal studies have also shown that more neural connections grow in the brain when an animal is stimulated at a very young age with experiences. Experiences vary all over the map. It's about new things that your baby hears, sees and experiences. We used to believe that a young baby could not do anything and so you could leave him lying in the crib for hours on end without talking to him and that would be fine. Young babies learn nothing anyway, or so we thought. Now we know better. Talk to your baby, try things, respond to him and involve him as much as possible in your family and in society. You encourage the development of neural connections in the brain and you will get a much funnier and more interactive child. Look at it this way: the effort you put into your baby will pay off abundantly and in a fun way. If you put your baby aside and do not interact with him, you will get a baby that will do nothing and will not explore anything.
