Overview

Parents of a Taurus tot are going to have to be very aware of this baby's need to be touched. Loving caresses and a tender touch are what the Taurus baby lives for! Along those lines, this is a child who needs to be comfortable. Things to keep in mind are providing a room and bed that are neither too hot nor too cold, food that is tasty (a budding gourmand has arrived!), soothing sounds, and whimsical toys. As Taurus rules the Second House, the House of Possessions, this baby's playthings will be very important. When it comes to the learning curve, the Taurus baby is not in a hurry to grasp new concepts. This tot will learn things at their own pace and be unresponsive to pressure, yet persevering in the end. In light of this, a gentle manner to get this baby to react and respond is the sensible course of action. Also familial in nature, the Taurus baby will enjoy having the family in close proximity, especially siblings. You can consider this baby a people person in general, as they are also likely to control the play circle where that well-known Taurean stubbornness will reveal itself! To sum up, the Taurus baby wants to be touched, will revel in delicious toys, and as an Earth Sign, will want to have both feet firmly planted on the ground!

Early Taurus: April 20 to 30

Babies born under the earth sign of Taurus orient themselves to the world through their senses. Touch, especially, is a big deal to these babes. Lots of hugs and cuddles keep him happy and content and soothe his little nerves when he's upset. Gentle stroking can help allay the stress of teething. Strong-minded, patient and easygoing, your growing youngster can be counted on to stick to his word and to reach the goals he sets for himself. No goal is too high for this determined bull.

Mid Taurus: May 1 to 10

Taurean babies are patient, loving and affectionate. They can endure more stress than most and not get too bothered by it. He's easygoing, yes, but has a stubborn streak especially when his mind is made up about something. The more you push, the deeper he digs in his little hoofs. Ironically, it's this very attitude of steadfast resolution this will ensure his success as he gets older.

Late Taurus: May 11 to 20

These babes have a good appetite and love to eat, so keeping them happy and fed should be a breeze. A full tummy is bliss for Taurean tots. This appreciation for food carries on as he grows, and he'll want to help you in the kitchen as soon as he's able. His taste will become more refined as he gets older, and quality will beat out quantity every time. Only the best will do, in food, music and clothes, but your budding entrepreneur will be more than willing to work odd jobs to support his good taste!
