My baby’s everyday experiences

My baby’s everyday experiences

Everyday caregiving routines, such as feeding, diapering, washing, and dressing are part of life as a parent. We might think of these as chores to “get through” but these are regular ways to show your love for your child.

When you consistently comfort your child using gentle touch, cuddles, and a soft voice, your baby will feel safe and loved. Feeding your baby when they show hunger and changing their diaper often are other ways to provide comfort every day.

As your child grows, they still need you to be nurturing and caring. It shows your child that you are dependable and will look after them. There are so many ways to support your child’s development during regular daily routines.
