Understanding Your Baby’s Temperament
When you understand your baby’s temperament, it can help you better appreciate the way he plays and the how you can best interact with him. Here are some typical infant temperaments. See which describes your baby best:
Slow to Warm Up Temperament:
This baby will take a little more time than others to warm up to people and other babies. They need time to embrace new experiences and can be easily over stimulated. A baby with this temperament will respond slowly to hunger or discomfort.
Easygoing Temperament:
This baby will adjust easily to new environments and situations. They will eat regularly, react mildly to discomfort and find ways to self-comfort when fussy.
Restless Temperament:
Babies with this temperament are restless and often will need constant motion to be content. They can be easily distracted and difficult to soothe when upset. They tend to be light sleepers and loud criers.
Although not every baby will fit into one of these categories, you can generally recognize your baby’s tendencies and learn to work with their style.
