I like to play with my own hands, feet, fingers, and toes. I like to play games again, again, and again. How I Feel I love being cuddled. I don't like being left alone. Each baby grows and develops at his or her own rate.
Some babies develop slowly in all areas.
By respecting the specialness of each child, parents can help children develop at their own pace. Take some information about your baby with you when you talk with your doctor or the child development specialists at Child Development Watch. Use the information from the front pages of last month's and this month's issue of the newsletter. Ask a friend who knows what infants are like to come and watch with you to decide if your baby really is or is not doing the activities listed in this column. Put the date on them and keep them.
