If your baby: Reacts with fear or anger to new situations… Adapts very slowly to any change in schedule… Doesn’t keep a regular schedule… Then you could easily get: Angry,impatient,confused. But your baby really needs you to: Be patient. Introduce new things, very gently and slowly. Offer several chances to get used to new things. Make life simpler, quieter, and less stimulating. When you react in these ways, your baby can learn to deal with her feelings of fear or insecurity. If you have a partner, remember you're in this together. The information in Parenting Partners can help you plan with your partner how to parent your baby and can be found at http://web.aces.uiuc.edu/familylife/parentingpartners/.
