Babies Expressing Feelings

Babies Expressing  Feelings

• Crying is a baby's only way of telling you what they need. Babies cry when they need help. They may be hungry, scared, lonely or hurt.
• Babies will learn trust and feel safe by having their needs met promptly. Babies learn to trust people when they are held, protected and loved. This is not spoiling your baby.
• It's a thrill when your baby first smiles at you. The baby has learnt another way to express feelings.
• By the time your baby is six months old you will have learnt a lot. You'll usually understand what the cries, gurgles and smiles mean. Babies love it when you talk to them.
