What is baby?

A baby is a very young person who hasn’t grown up yet and needs lots of care and love.

What Babies Do

Babies spend most of their time sleeping, eating, playing, and growing. They don’t know how to walk or talk at first, just like how you might not know how to ride a bike when you’re little. But with time, they learn everything!

How Babies Grow

When a baby is born, it’s like getting a new toy that needs to be taken care of every day. You feed them with milk (like the best snack ever!), change their clothes when they wet themselves, and hold them close when they cry, just like how you might hold your favorite stuffed animal when you’re scared.

As days go by, babies get bigger and start doing more things on their own, like reaching for toys or smiling at you. It's like watching a seed grow into a big tree, slow but amazing!
