Just be yourself

Each child has their own temperament but they deserve support when they act out of character, says Jennie Lindon There is good reason to believe that babies are born with personal dispositions that shape how they respond to their experiences. Some babies are more relaxed from the earliest weeks, giving you enchanting smiles on a regular basis. For others, life appears to be a more serious business. A baby of a similar age, even the next baby in this same family, may produce a frown as often as a smile.
