Anong Personality ni Baby?
Ang baby mo ba ay mabilis tumawa? Curious? Malambing?
All babies are born unique, kaya as a parent, nakakatuwa to watch your baby’s very own personality unfold!
Malaking factor dito ang genetics, pero how you respond to baby’s behavior will also have a huge impact on her development.
Check to see where your baby falls on the different categories below, para alam mo how best to support her!
Likot Level
- HIGH: Kapag super active si baby, she will most likely reach developmental milestones faster. Make sure lang na binabantayan mo siya at all times. Ang bilis kasi kumilos!
- LOW: Kapag chill lang si baby, too much physical activity might overwhelm her. Give her playtime options so she can choose what she’s in the mood for.
Love for Routine
- HIGH: For babies that find comfort and security in a well-known routine, it’s best to stick to a schedule (hint: magiging iritable lang siya kapag ginulo mo ang kanyang naptime, feeding time at bedtime).
- LOW: For unpredictable babies, ‘di kailangan maging sobrang strict sa daily schedule. But try to introduce familiar elements (e.g. the same nursing chair or a favorite toy) each day, and definitely insist on a soothing bedtime routine.
Friendliness
- HIGH: Kung sociable si baby, meaning ngumingiti at sumasama siya kahit kanino, give her lots of playtime with other babies and people.
- LOW: Kung shy si baby, ‘wag pilitin makipag-interact sa iba. Let her warm up to other people at her own pace.
Expressiveness
- HIGH: Kung may nafifeel si baby, ipapaalam niya sa ‘yo through very loud cries. You won’t be able to soothe her all the time, and that’s okay. When she’s older, that same energy will be used to pursue her passions.
- LOW: Dahil hindi masyadong expressive si baby, kailangan mong maging mas sensitive sa mga cues niya (e.g. scowling could mean irritability, while looking away could signal boredom).
Basta one thing’s for sure: ano man ang personality type ng baby mo, she will always need your support!
Just remember that all traits have a positive side, nurturing lang ang kailangan. The more you can make bulilit feel loved and accepted, the more secure she’ll feel to let her best self show!
