What to expect with a Taurus baby

Generally composed little bubs, tots born under the Taurus sign are said to be brilliant sleepers. But when they’re awake, they’ll let you know in no uncertain terms that they need something! Ruled by Venus, Taurean bubs are unbearably beautiful, and strike an interesting balance between loving to look neat and tidy, and letting their inner bull loose.

Like most bulls, they don’t like being forced to do something they don’t want to, so be prepared for some tough encounters with your head-strong offspring. They thrive on routine and aren’t big on surprises, so keep things on a predictable even keel.

Taurus is ruled by the five senses, so these little bulls love being held and touched, spoken to, and being close enough to smell you. Oh, and the sense of taste? You can expect that your little one will be a thumb sucker or love putting everything in their mouth!
