Learn how to take care of a new baby. The secret to raising me is to use your heart to attune your emotions. Use your mind to make sure you are meeting my needs. The only way I can communicate is by crying so please try to figure out why I'm upset and try to help resolve my discomfort. Babies are pretty simple. We need to be fed, burbed, changed, bathed, coddled, spoken to and put to bed. A happy baby grows up to become a mentally strong adult.
