Becoming a parent for the first time can be really difficult. Newborn children can be extremely difficult to deal with since they are unable to use language as a medium to communicate with you. Just when you start to feel that you have understood what they seem to like and dislike, they change their tastes!
The only way a baby is able to display its needs is by crying. Being able to know how to tend to their needs can be extremely beneficial to you and your child. Below are the different ways in which you can soothe your crying baby depending on their zodiac sign.
1. Capricorn
Born between 22nd December and 19th January, Capricorns are known for their independence and desire to learn new things (1). If your baby is a Capricorn, it is best if you let them figure out how to stop crying on their own since your efforts to soothe them will go in vain. If you still feel you want to give it a shot, try training them to regulate their sleep cycle so that they do not feel grumpy all the time.
2. Aquarius
Born between 20th January and 18th February, Aquarians are known for their friendliness as well as intelligence. If you have an Aquarius-born child, then you should know that they hate being bored. This means that you will constantly need to change your techniques to soothe them, as what may have worked earlier might not work anymore.
3. Pisces
Born between 19th February and 20th March, Pisceans are known for their love for music. If your child is born in this zodiac sign, you should be ready to sing them a lullaby or play them music from your ‘baby’ playlist whenever they start to cry.
4. Aries
Born between 21st March and 19th April, Aries-born are known for their enthusiasm, passion as well as their aggression and impatience. Your Aries-born child will have an extremely loud cry that is firm and persistent. You need to act quickly if you want breaks between tending to their needs.
5. Taurus
Born between 20th April and 20th May, Taureans are known for their patience and stubbornness. If you are able to figure out what soothes your Taurus-born child, you will not have any problems in the future.
6. Gemini
Born between 21st May and 20th June, Gemini-born are known for their curiosity and affection as well as their anxiousness and indecisiveness. Gemini are known for their dual natures, which means that depending on your child’s mood, you may have to try extremely opposite techniques to calm them down.
7. Cancer
Born between 21st June and 22nd July, Cancer-born are known for being emotional. This means that crying may be very frequent with your cancer-born. However, showing them a little love and attention in the form of hugs and kisses will do the trick more often than not.
8. Leo
Born between 23rd July and 22nd August, Leo-born are known for their passion and lovingness. Similar to Aries, Leo-born hate being ignored. This means that you need to assure your child that they mean the world to you in order to avoid a crying tantrum from their side.
9. Virgo
Born between 23rd August and 22nd September, Virgos are known for their shyness. This means that they may not cry very often since they do not like to ask for help. The best way to soothe a crying Virgo-born child is to pat them or rock them since they are known for being organized.
10. Libra
Born between 23rd September and 22nd October, Librans are known for their indecisiveness and love for company. Your best bet to deal with your Libran baby is to make sure you remain in their sight at all times.
11. Scorpio
Born between 23rd October and 21st November, Scorpions are known for their passion and resourcefulness. They rarely cry as babies but when they do, they are very particular about what they want. It is best if you stick to what works when soothing your Scorpio-born child.
12. Sagittarius
Born between 22nd November and 21st December, Sagittarians are known for their impatience and love for the outdoors. If your Sagittarius-born is putting on a show with their crying, you should take them out in the open to calm them down.
Being able to identify what exactly soothes your child can save you a lot of time and – not to mention –several sleepless nights. If zodiac signs are the means to the end, can a sleep-deprived parent really complaint? Best of luck!
