Baby's temperament

A newborn baby already has a way of being and reacting. That’s their temperament. It’s what makes them 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 your baby’s temperament, you might find them to be more demanding than other children around you. By being warm and attentive to your child’s needs, you help them feel calm and secure.

Every child is unique. By getting to know your baby, you can adjust to their temperament.
