Listen to your baby

Would you like your baby to be happy, cooperative and to sleep all night? Then you must treat him as an individual from the day he is born.
He is a unique individual. When your newborn baby cries he is calling for you. Don't ignore him. Go to him immediately.He may need feeding, changing or a cuddle. Feed on demand. Be aware of his needs and give him what he wants.
Hang colourful toys or mobiles above his bed to stimulate him. As he gets older you can attach activity toys to the bed and you can put some safe cuddly toys or rattles at the foot of the bed.
Whatever time of the day or night he calls you, always go to him with a smile and a pleasant greeting. If you are grumpy he can sense it and will be uneasy, so try to be cheerful. He may not understand your words but he likes the sound of your voice.Set aside a time each day when your baby can have your undivided attention.
Look at him, talk to him, play with him. Let him pull your hair, poke your face, roll about on you lap. This is the time that you and your baby can get to know each other. You know he's precious so show him how much you love him. He'll appreciate it. You will be the most important person in his life.
