1. Your baby feels safe with you
They relax or calm down when you hold them.
2. They make eye contact
Your baby looks into your eyes when you talk.
3. They smile when they see you
Your presence makes them happy.
4. They respond to your voice
They turn their head or react when you speak.
5. They try to “talk” to you
Cooing or making little sounds back.
6. They follow you with their eyes
They track your movement around the room.
7. They calm down when you comfort them
Your touch or voice soothes them.
8. They show curiosity
Looking around, observing faces, and reacting to sounds.
9. They enjoy being close to you
They relax during cuddles or feeding.
If your baby does even a few of these… you’re doing great, mama ❤️
