Parenting Tips for Your 9 Month Old Baby
It’s so easy to get caught up in day-to-day routines and pressures that you may overlook the need for a special time for you and your baby. Think about setting aside a special time each day — a time when you can give your baby your undivided attention with no interruptions.
The length of time is up to you, depending on how busy your schedule is. Even a small pocket of time, perhaps 15 minutes a day, can mean a lot for both of you. It can mean a time to enjoy and appreciate each other.
How can you spend this special time? Sing, read, play, or listen to music. Relax together. Cuddle. Enjoy being together.
If you can’t set aside 15 minutes, try doing things with your baby a few minutes several times each day.
Babies are happier and learn how to amuse themselves if parents give them moments of their time and attention. It takes less than a minute to give your baby a hug and a kiss or to play pat-a-cake.
