Parenting is one of the busiest jobs in the world. You're apt to like parenting a lot better if you plan little getaways every couple of weeks. Stay involved in the things that make life fun for you!
But I still let you know some important information be good for your baby:
Discipline: It Starts Early
When you baby-proof your house and distract your baby from doing something harmful or annoying, you are starting the beginning stages of discipline. Discipline also means guiding a child's actions to make him acceptable to others and to himself.
Babies under a year old are too young to understand the reasons for stopping something they are doing. For example, your baby may love to throw toys on the floor. He likes to hear the noise, watch the toys bounce, and thinks it's a great game! It doesn't occur to him that the noise is bothering you. You may even think that he is being defiant, but he only thinks that toy-throwing is fun. How to get the baby to stop? Remove the toys and distract him with something else he can do. Give him a hug, too.
If you can strike a balance between providing necessary controls, a sense of humor and loving care, your baby will learn how to think and act responsibly.
Saying "I love You" without Words
Sometimes we have a hard time talking with babies because they can't talk back, and we've forgotten how to communicate without words. So here are some tips on how to tell your baby "I love you" without words:
Touch can give the most important love messages! Hold your baby in a gentle, secure way, giving tender caresses and affectionate hugs. Tell your baby "I love you" by letting your body express all the love that you feel. (Tense, jerky, abrupt handling gives the opposite message.)
Use your eyes to send a love message. Look at Baby eye-to-eye and smile. (If your face is tense and unsmiling, you communicate unpleasant feelings to your child.)
Hum, whistle, or sing to your baby. If your voice is low, gentle, soothing, and full of joy and excitement, your baby is bound to feel your love.
Rock (gently) your baby. Find an old-fashioned rocker and use it while you're giving love messages.
This is for your reference only. I hope it helps. Good luck!
