How You Can Keep Your Baby Happy and Playful

If you’ve just had a child, you’re probably wondering how you can keep them happy. You do want the best for them, or you wouldn’t be reading this. So how do you keep your baby happy and preserve their sense of childlike playfulness? Read on to find out.

Shower Them With Love and Attention

Love, attention, and affection are transformative. The first years of contact between you and your child directly impact their physical, mental, and emotional resiliency and strength later in life. These things help your child’s brain develop, so don’t skip out on them. Hug, touch, encourage, and smile at them. Some people find it hard to do these basic things depending on their own upbringing, but this makes it all the more important that we give our children the love we might have missed out on in our own infancy.

Give Them Their Own Room

Having your own space, even at a young age, is crucial. Make sure that the walls of your child’s room are a soft color and that their crib is comfortable. Change their bedding often. Make sure their favorite toys, such as teddy bears, are a staple in their crib. You might also want a few of those mobile toys that fascinate children so much. These items will all be an excellent addition to your child’s room. This is a key way to keep your baby happy and playful.

Read to Them

It’s not just a cliché to say that reading is fundamental. Reading to your baby now builds good habits for when they learn to read on their own later. Reading a bedtime story is also a great bonding experience. There’s nothing quite like starting a new series with your child from their favorite author. Reading to your child during their first years of life will also help them in school later down the line. When you love to read, projects that involve reading become far easier to complete.

In short, there’s much to prepare for when bringing a new child into your life. However, the ideas above can tremendously help in your pursuits to raise a happy, playful child. If you follow the tips above, you’ll be well on your way to having a happy baby!
