Involving your partner

Involving your partnerWhile you might love to sing or snuggle with your baby, your partner may enjoy clowning around. Everyone's different, so play the way you like and let your partner get involved in a way they enjoy. Playing with different people will also help your baby develop new skills and will give your partner and the little one time to bond.

Why not try to make sure your partner has time each day to be alone with baby, which you could spend doing those essential chores or even catching up on a bit of much-needed rest. When no one’s there to watch, your partner will soon relax and play in the way that feels most natural. You could even make sure there are plenty of toys close at hand to help keep your baby and partner amused.
