Often getting lost in the dizzying rush of having a new child is the romantic connection couples have. It's no secret having a child often means dedicating a lot of your time to the child. That's why it's so important to remind yourself and each other to spend quiet moments together.
As a parent, you are the first to play with your baby. Playing with your baby helps you build a strong attachment that will give your child a safe place from which to explore the world as they grow. Responding to and playing with your baby in a caring and nurturing way will support all aspects of their healthy development.
All children deserve the best possible start in life. A child’s early years from before birth to age six are very important to his healthy development. This is a time when children’s brains and bodies are developing at a rapid pace. Healthy babies are more likely to continue to be healthy through their childhood, teen and adult years.
