Life is a series of choices—of paths taken and not taken.

Every day you make dozens of decisions. How do you know

if you’re making the right decisions?

GOOD decisions move you closer to your goals…help create a better

life for you & your baby…make you feel good about yourself…

bring you in touch with people who are kind and supportive.

BAD decisions cause regret…give you an uneasy feeling…keep you in

unhealthy relationships…move you farther from your goals.

Your decisions affect what happens in your life and your baby’s life.

Think about a decision you need to make. What are your choices?

How will your decision impact your future? Your baby’s future?

Imitate the sounds your baby makes.

When your baby makes a sound, wait for her to pause, then answer her with the same sound. Wait for her to make her sound again. Echo her sound back again. See how many times you can go back and forth. Imitate other sounds she makes.

Your baby learns… to copy your sounds. This is how she will learn to talk. She also learns she can make things happen.

Label your actions each time you do something with your baby.

Label your actions when you interact with your baby. Each time you change his diaper, dress him, or give him a bath, talk about what you are doing. “You are all clean! I changed your diaper and now let’s play patty cake.” He’ll learn to connect words to actions.

Your baby learns… to connect words to familiar activities and to anticipate those activities. Babies feel happier and more secure when they know what to expect.

Help your baby use his hands and fingers.

Help your baby sit up or where he can easily reach 2 or 3 toys that are safe and easy for little hands to pick up—rattles, rings, or pop beads. Let him inspect them with his mouth, bang them, drop them—whatever he wants. Talk about his actions… “You are shake, shake, shaking that rattle!”

Your baby learns…how to make things happen with his hands and how things work. This helps him feel more competent and self-confident.

Let your baby explore nature.

Take your baby out to a grassy area. Hold him on your lap or let him scoot or sit on the ground. Tickle his face with a blade of grass and let him inspect it. Help him tune into the sights and sounds of things around him.

Your baby learns... new textures, sounds, and words. This is how your baby learns about the world.

Your baby needs you to be her cheerleader. Smile and tell her how proud you are of the new things she is learning. “Way to go, Baby!”

Just right for your baby’s age.Most toys have age recommendations on the box that tell you whether the toy is safe and interesting for your baby.If someone gives your baby a toy that is recommended for older children, put it away until he’s old enough, or give it away. If you have older children, keep their toys out of baby’s reach.

Made of materials that will last. Make sure the toy can’t break easily and can be washed without being ruined. Made of materials that are safe.Be sure it will not make your baby sick when he puts it in his mouth. Check the label. It should say “non-toxic.” If the toy is made of fabric, it should say “non-flammable.”

Big enough that your baby cannot choke on it.If the toy can fit through a toilet paper roll, don’t let your baby have it. Even if the toy is large, check whether any small parts (such as eyes) could break or pull off.

Safe for your baby to play with.Be sure there are no ribbons or strings that could wrap around your baby’s neck. Fun to play with!Does your baby like the toy? Is it fun to look at? To hear? To touch? Can your baby make it do something like rattle, ring, or move?

Newborns usually sleep about

3 hours before they wake

up and want to be fed. After

feeding they may fall back to

sleep, or they may stay awake

for a little while.

Sometimes your baby needs

help to sleep.

n Be sure he had enough to eat

and has a dry diaper.

n Swaddle your baby in a blanket,

but don’t wrap it too tightly.

n Watch for signs your baby is

sleepy—like drooping eyelids

or yawning.

n Gently rock your baby.

n Put your baby in his own bed to

sleep—on his back.

n Gently rub or pat his chest for a

few minutes.

To reduce the chance that your

baby will die while he sleeps:

n Put him on his back to sleep.

n Do not put him down to sleep

on a soft or fluffy surface like

a pillow or comforter.

n Make sure the room

temperature is not too warm.

n NEVER allow anyone to smoke

around your baby.

Developing an attachment is a gradual process that you and your baby go through together.

When your baby cries…you try to figure out what he needs.

When you hold him, feed him, or change his diaper…he is comforted.

When you meet his needs…your baby begins to prefer you and rely on you.

Your baby begins to smile at about two months…you smile back. You find enjoyment in each other.

Attachment develops as you meet your baby’s needs

and enjoy your time together.
