See you there!

It’s easy to get carried away by the grand occasion of your child’s first birthday, but don’t forget to focus on your baby and her needs, too. Try this to help her enjoy the big day.

Designate a soft, quiet room where baby can relax, away from the crowd and festivities.

Make sure your baby gets plenty of rest and lots of breaks. The longer the party, the more breaks your baby will need.

Ask a favorite caregiver or older child to be on hand to help and reassure.

Don’t schedule any important events, like pictures or cake cutting, during nap time or too late in the day.

With so many changes in her routine and scenery, expect her to react or behave differently than she normally would. She might not like having other people playing with her toys.

Don’t try to do everything yourself or stress over the details – your baby can tell when you’re nervous and stressed.

Don’t expect your baby to be perfect. Many priceless memories and photos were unplanned. Revel in the surprises your baby throws your way and celebrate who he or she is.
