heart Ten ways to love your baby heart

Loving your child doesn't just mean kisses and cuddles but taking care of his health and giving him time, for instance! So, take heart this Valentine's there are so many ways you can show your love for your little one, here are 10 to start with!

  • Cut your child’s health risks by staying away from drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
  • Set time aside to read to your child and help his or her brain develop.  
  • Talk to your health visitor to ensure your child’s immunisations are up to date.  
  • Baby-proof your home – make sure medicines are locked away and that cleaning supplies and small objects are out of reach.
  • Make sure your child is safe when travelling – check car seats are installed properly and older children are buckling up in the back.
  • Stay a little longer at your child’s nursery or childminder to make sure both your child and the care-giver are happy.
  • Encourage your child and raise self-esteem. 'Well done, you can do it' and 'what a big boy/girl', will show how much you care and what an interest you take.
  • Provide structure to your child’s day – limit TV, enforce bedtimes and help your child respond by providing an easy routine.
  • Make sure you say I’m sorry, please and thank you in front of your child – how else will they learn?  
  • Give your child an extra hug, kiss and I love you on Valentine’s Day.
