The length of time is up to you. Even a small amount of time perhaps 15 minutes a day can be time to enjoy and appreciate each other. Sing, read, play or listen to music. Enjoy just being together. As your baby gets older, she will eagerly look forward to this pocket of time for just the two of you.
All babies are different and grow at their own pace.
Don t worry if your baby isn t doing exactly the same things as other babies of the same age. My mother is always telling me how to care for my baby. I know she means well, but I get really upset when she questions everything I do. Relatives, especially grandparents, can be very special people in your baby s life. This is especially true if you are a single parent, a teenage parent or you live at home.
