One of the things that parents enjoy most at Christmas is to see the illusion with which our children live these magical dates.
But of course, a baby of months does not have the same notion of a 4-year-old child or enjoy Christmas in the same way.
It is important that the baby participates in the parties but without stress, we must not forget that it is a small baby that can be overwhelmed by so much celebration. Therefore, it is not necessary to consider some recommendations to make the baby's first Christmas unforgettable, both for parents and for the little one.
Show him the ornaments of the tree, the nativity scene, the lights, put on Christmas carols, read him Christmas stories. Even if you think he doesn't know anything, bright colors, flashy ornaments and Christmas music stimulate his senses.
Christmas night is also a special night for the little one. Make sure the baby will be comfortable where you plan to celebrate Christmas. If it is a relative's house, it is preferable that you have a room away from the noise where you can rest. If it is a known place for the baby, the better.
Do not forget to take into account safety issues such as preventing you from approaching stairs, touching toxic items and avoiding any other type of domestic accident, quite common at this time.
Among so many people, you may feel restless when you see so many new faces, you will surely spend the night from arm to arm and become the center of attention. We see it as a celebration, but the only thing he has is a great confusion. If you find it annoying, get away from the tumult to reassure him and respect his usual sleep schedule. Nothing will happen to him to fall asleep later, but if you see him irritable, what is the need to bother him.
Babies are especially sensitive to excessive stimuli and get scared very easily with strident sounds, so maybe this year is not the right one if you plan to go to a party. Think that it has to be a celebration that the whole family enjoys, including the little one.
If you go on a trip, keep in mind at all times the demands of your baby, follow our advice to travel by car with him and be flexible to adapt to your needs.
Finally, I wish you the tips are useful to enjoy these dates to the fullest with your baby. I have a pleasant memory of my daughters' first Christmas, especially my first Christmas as a mother. It is very exciting to share such a spiritual celebration with those who have become in such a short time the most special person in our lives.
