Overview

For better or for worse, the Virgo baby is plenty fussy! How else do you expect these kids to grow up to be perfectionists? Get used to it: the Virgo baby can be quite particular and needs to have a routine. At least having a routine isn't all bad, but don't even think of changing it! This baby will not respond well to a lot of change. The Virgo baby can also be picky about food, so keep it simple at mealtimes. Aside from these peculiarities, this tot doesn't require a lot. A clean bedroom and simple clothing are sure to keep this baby dry-eyed. As well, the Virgo baby is quite good at amusing itself for hours with the most basic of games, feeling very little need for the attention of others. The Virgo child also wants to talk early on, probably earlier than most of the other babies around. There's a lot going on in that mind, so it may as well come out! From an early age, this baby can also be seen as mother's little helper, as the need to serve others is a strong Virgo trait. They also won't make a fuss over their accomplishments, since by nature these kids are a bit shy. To sum up, the Virgo baby is fine on their own but also happy to help others, loves cleanliness, and can easily keep themselves amused. Pretty (albeit picky!) good kid.

Early Virgo: August 23 to September 1

These babes love predictability. Chaos is the one thing that upsets these earth sign tots the most. A regular, predictable and calm routine goes a long way to keep your wee one happy and content. These little perfectionists are neat and tidy right from the get-go. You won't have to nag this one to keep his room in order as he gets older. His standards will be high as he grows, as will his expectations of himself. You have a budding high achiever on your hands.

Mid Virgo: September 2 to 11

Intellectual Mercury rules Virgo, and these kids are indeed smart as a whip. Once your wee one starts to talk, he'll progress to reading and writing at warp speed, thanks to speedy Mars hooking up to communicative Mercury in his chart. Your toddler will adore animals, and will want one from an early age. Virgo kids need to be needed, so consider adopting a pet from the animal shelter, with junior in charge of its care. He could easily find a career in caring for others when he gets older.

Late Virgo: September 12 to 22

The keyword for Virgo is "discriminating," and these kids can be quite selective about what they eat or wear. Luckily for you, your wee one will naturally love healthy food, although it could be a bit much when he takes apart and inspects every sandwich you make for him. He'll be disciplined and responsible early on, and will take on an after-school job just as soon as you'll let him. You could have a future successful financier in your midst.
