Temperament
A newborn baby already has a way of being and reacting. That’s his temperament. It’s what makes him unique.
For example, babies can have differences regarding:
- How long they cry
- How active they are
- How readily they embrace new things
- How sensitive they are to noise, light, and movement
There is no good or bad temperament. However, depending on his temperament, you might find your baby more demanding than other children around you. It’s still important to be warm and loving towards him and attentive to his needs. He’ll learn to self-soothe and feel safe and confident with you.
Every baby is unique. By getting to know your baby, you can adjust to his temperament.
