Well as we all know a happy baby is a joy and will
make your life a great joy
So here are a few ways which can help you get things
right.
Respond to Her Cries
Sounds obvious, right? The
trick is to create a pattern so baby knows you’re predictable and reliable.
This doesn’t mean you have to jump up every time baby makes a peep — there are
going to be times when she cries and cries and cries, or when she soothes
herself — but it does mean attending to her needs more than the majority of the
time.
Learn How to Swaddle
Invest in some easy-to-wrap swaddling blankets — you're going to need them.
That’s because, for most babies, being wrapped up snugly is comfy
Don’t Give In
In order to keep public
embarrassment to a minimum and to teach your toddler better communication
skills and emotional regulation it's
important to not give in to her demands when she has a tantrum. Sure, giving
her that cookie would get her to stop screaming, but then she’ll just learn
that screaming gets her what she wants, and she’ll keep doing it. By the time
they are toddlers you will you know if she need changing all parents knows the
smell of their child
Play "Kissy Cheeks" with baby.
Infants LOVE
physical attention. Hold baby often, caress head and body, and always kiss
baby's cheeks...they are made soft and kissable for a reason! Hold baby in lap
and kiss baby's cheeks making "kissing noises" each time you kiss a
cheek. Baby feels loved and secure.
When baby begins to make noises, mimic the sounds
begin
introducing new sounds for baby. Sound sharpens a baby's attention and
awareness. Snap your fingers when baby is looking away so baby will hear and
turn towards you in response, and then lay on the praise! Make animal
sounds...use your imagination.
Baby feels safe and secure, and you get to bond with child. (This is a perfect opportunity to play "kissy cheeks". Hum a soft song in baby's ear, and whisper sweet lullaby's. If you are actively fulfilling the above, you will notice that this is as natural as whispering sweet nothings in wife's ear

Making funny sounds and laughing...get baby to laugh and learn to trust you. If you have been making baby feel secure and safe by putting into practice all the above, baby is not frightened and begins to laugh. NOTE: Do NOT toss baby in air and play catch! Be careful not to shake or drop baby it would be better to lean baby yoga or toddlers toga
