Best way to handle a phobia of Infants?

PV2 Kinder

Make sure you hold her head. At nine months im not sure if they can hold their head up on their own. I should know since i have a 23 months old at home lol.
Dont forget to call ACS and attend one of the new parent classes they offer. I know they offer them here at Hood check into that because those classes addresses that and other things for new parents/fathers.

They bounce (no really they do).

As long as you aren't launching them across the room or throwing them into a wall they are going to be OK. One thing to remember is that they take their cues from you. If you aer nervous and hesitant they will be nervous and hestitant around you. If you react all crazy about them running into a wall or falling they are going to give you the water works. If you know that they didn't do any permanent damege just look at them and laugh they will do the same thing. Do be afrain to let them explore if it isn's going to permenantly damage them let them do it. Bumps and bruises are going to happen and you need to let them test their limits. Unless it involves electricity I rarely stop my kids from pusing their limits and finding out for themselves if it is a good idea.

Just be gentle and careful, you will be fine. Don't allow your fears to hinder you in holding and bonding with your daughter. It's important that you play with her and create that life long bond. As the other states kids are extremely resilient, she is gonna hurt herself a lot more than you ever will just learning to walk and climb and jump. No worries.
