Everyone says it will happen, but you don’t think it will…
With our first baby no plastic toys entered our home until his first birthday. Everything was washed, sanitized, anti-bacterialed, and sterilized before we let him touch it. We only dressed him in clothing made of organic cotton or all-natural fibers, with no tags.
We chronicled his every move, and documented every day of his first year on a private blog.
As for our new baby? Here is a recent photo of his tummy time mat:
Nice parking spot, don’t you think? Obviously someone did.
But every time I feel the slightest bit guilty for the discrepancy in attention, I think about how much more relaxed my new baby is…and I think there just might be a connection.
Babies can certainly sense stress! Our oldest (then at 16 months) got in between his mommy and daddy and said NO!!! when we got into an argument… heh … we both had to take a step back and smile. It ended up in a mommy/daddy/baby three way hug…. This is the kid that is quite content to sleep from 8:30p to 8:30a too…. 🙂
