Being close with your baby is not an instant thing. It is always about a process. In the end, any parent is truly happy when they can call themselves their child’s best friends.

You can start building this friendship right from the first days and months of your kid’s life.

Here are easy and working tips for you

• Let your smile be the first thing your baby see after waking up in the morning. You may not realize how important it is for this tiny dear creature to feel loved and to know that you are happy about their presence.
• Listen to music together. Listening to nice music can relieve up to 70% of daily stress as scientists say. Seize this opportunity. Enjoy groovy or quiet melodies with your child. Just mind that the music is not too loud. You both will feel uplifted and it will stimulate the connection between you. Singing to your baby is precious too. Find some easy and sweet song to perform and sing it to your baby before day or night sleep.
• Use any opportunity to play with your baby. Playing is a kid’s main business. It helps them develop, explore, learn new things about themselves, life and the world. Be your kid’s partner and guide. After all, you will also feel pleased and light, like you are a child too. Short but frequent games with a baby will really unite you and will be your moments to remember.
• Care for your child. Though it is absolutely normal to delegate some dutes and tasks to other trustworthy people from time to time, parents are still the ones who carry thže main bulk of responsibility for their baby’s well-being. Caring for your child day by day, feeding them, changing their diapers and clothes, bathing them, walking with them, etc. is what makes you really attached to your child because you invest more and more powers and emotions to parenting, not to mention, that the baby feels especially secure and protected with you.
• Stroke your child gently and warmly. “Feed” your child with love energy gently touching their head, stroking their face, belly and back. Hug them. These moments are precious for both of you. As for kissing, I am not a fan of it because of the high risk of infecting a baby with bacteria or viruses, herpes is especially dangerous for babies. Think about it.
• Accept your child when they don’t come up with your expectations. It is easy to be nice with a quiet baby who doesn’t cry or wake up at night. But give your baby a right to be “not comfortable”, to struggle with teething, excitement, stomach pains, slower mental or physical development or something else. If are still patient, loving and understanding in this case, your child will sooner or later return double reward to you.
• Start being bosom friends with your kiddy right now and you will keep and develop this friendship for years.
