What is the baby to you?

Babies are typically defined as human infants under the age of one year old. During the first year of life, babies go through rapid physical and cognitive development, reaching many important milestones such as sitting up, crawling, and eventually walking.

Babies require constant care and attention, as they are completely dependent on adults for their basic needs like feeding, diaper changing, and soothing comfort. They communicate through crying, babbling, and facial expressions, as they are not yet capable of verbal communication.

Babies have unique preferences and personalities from a very young age, and caregivers must be attuned to their needs and cues in order to provide the best possible care. Bonding with a baby through physical touch, eye contact, and responsive caregiving is crucial for their emotional and cognitive development.
