Saying goodbye to your baby
Average rating:
Many mothers want to shield themselves, and their babies, from the dreaded moment of 'goodbye'. By looking your child in the eye and saying goodbye directly they will feel more informed of your departure. Babies of all ages look for patterns, links and words that make their world more predictable, and in fact will feel more panicky because of sudden changes or absences, which they are not given the chance to prepare for.
