What does Mama do?
Mama goes about her regular day. When you need to use the bathroom your Baby Elephant can jump on the mini tramp. If you're sitting down they can sit between your feet and just chill.
You can sing, hum, dance around, go outside for a walk. Cook dinner, sit down and pay bills, read a book, decorate a new room – what ever you feel like doing!
Continue with snuggle time each day, but switch structured play time to short sessions of playing baby games with them; Pat-a-Cake, Itsy Bitsy Spider, etc. Hug them every hour so they get lots of love. And DANCE! Turn on the music and twirl your Baby Elephant around doing silly dance moves.
Your Baby Elephant will also need Mama to bathe them. Fill up the tub and add in some bubbles. Scrub your child as you would a little baby, splashing and singing to them. Wrap them in a big fluffy towel and cuddle for a few minutes at the end of bath time.
**This is NOT a time to keep your child continually entertained! Smile at them with love in your eyes, but don’t chat with them or answer their non-vital questions. Let them just quietly soak up your love!
This is also NOT a time to use negatives. Don’t give instructions or ask them to do anything (besides to jump on the mini-tramp). Use positives instead: “Stay behind me”, “Keep holding on”, “Hop along”, “I want you to be quiet”, etc. (If they don't stop chatting put in your earbuds and listen to some music!)
