When mother is not near

For a working woman, if she is serious about her profession, she needs to leave her baby at home, in most cases with a maid or relative. Even if she reaches office, she is bit worried about her child. Same is the case of a baby too, who is most happy in the presence of mother. He might also be thinking about his mother the whole day when she is away. He might be a bit sad too. How can you make him feel the presence of yours even if you are away? Here are a few tips.

1. You can fix mother’s photos on the walls frequently seen by the child. When baby sees mother’s photo frequently he feels her presence.

2. If you are hiring a maid to look after your baby, ask her not to change the daily schedule which the baby is familiar with. Ask her to bath and feed at the same time the child is used to. When things are done in the similar manner as his mother did, the baby will feel comfortable.

3. You can call home at breaks and video chats are better effective. The baby enjoys the moments which he get, though connected through a virtual world. Seeing mother and hearing her voice give him a security feeling.

4. You can record some story or song in your voice and hand it over to the maid. Lullabies can also be recorded in mother’s voice. Ask your maid to put it on just before he goes to sleep.

5. Kids are naughty and very often they cry and shout without any reasons. You can give small gifts and sweets to maid, and ask her to give it him as mother’s gift, in case it’s needed.

6. It’s also a good decision to call and have a chat with your kid occasionally while you are at office.
