Having a happy baby is every mother's dream. Expectant mothers long for the day that they hear their joyful baby cooing at them. Most babies are naturally happy, but they must have certain needs met to stay that way. Keep your baby comfortable and you're sure to hear that cooing in no time. Read on to learn more.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Keep your baby's diaper clean. Babies have sensitive skin, and not changing their diapers quickly can lead to a nasty, painful diaper rash. An uncomfortable baby is not a happy baby, so keep her dry and rash-free.
2. Feed your baby often. Hungry tummies lead to fussy babies. Many adults adults are cranky when they're hungry, too, but they can get themselves food. A hungry baby can't grab a sandwich, so he lets you know by turning on the tears. A happy baby is a baby with a full tummy.
3. Cuddle your baby as much as you can. Talk to her while you hold her close. Soon the baby learns to mimic your facial expressions and tries to talk back to you. Being close to mommy and daddy is what makes a happy baby.
4. Ensure that your baby isn't too warm or too cold. Dress him according to the weather and take a light blanket if you're going to the grocery store. Walking through the freezer section can make even a happy baby fuss.
