Baby love

Your baby loves to watch your every move as you’re the number one person in his life. Enjoy this special bond through your child’s early development...

0-6 MONTHS

• Your tiny day-old baby can already recognise your touch, voice and smell. He might not realise it yet, but he’s forming a strong attachment to you and prefers your cuddles above anyone else’s.

• From around six weeks, your little one might surprise you with his first spontaneous grin. Encourage his smiles by talking and singing to him – he’ll soon learn to associate you with special moments and he’ll reserve his biggest grins for you.

• Your baby will show you that he loves you by using his eyes. Watch how his pupils enlarge when you hold your face close to his.
