Baby Bill Of Rights

Very interesting article that I treasure very much, found it during my spring cleaning and it is from The Ohio State University Medical Center. The "Baby Bill Of Rights" article said the followings:-

Talk To Me
Sing, hum, babble, or even read the funnies to me! I do not know exactly what you are saying, but I need to hear you. And I do know what you mean, even if I may not know words. Like your voice tones mean, "I love you." Or when you yell, I hear, "You are a pest!" Unless
you communicate with me, how can I learn? I learn from you.

Hold Me
Everything is so big and new to me. I do not understand where I am. Or who I am. And I get scared. But when you hold me, I feel better. Your warmth warms me. Your breath and heartbeat make me feel I belong. Belong here. Belong to you.

Answer My Cry
I do not cry to get you upset. Or to get you mad. I cry because I can not tell you how I feel any other way. Maybe I am cold .. or wet ... or hungry ... or scared and lonely. Answer my cries. You'll soon know what each one means. You won't spoil me. You will help me to be a better baby ... and to make you happier, too.

Love Me
Like me. Love me just as I am. Do not expect me to do what I cannot do. Like being toilet-trained. My muscles are not ready yet. I know I am messy. But I am growing. Overlook my baby weaknesses. You are the most important person in my world. I cannot make it without you. So get to know me. Have fun with me. And love me ... just as I am.
