What to expect with a Sagittarius baby

Sagittarius babies love a good belly laugh, so expect plenty of baby giggles and clowning around. It may come as no surprise then that they’re not huge fans of rules, and prefer to just be a free spirit. But like all tots, they need boundaries – you may just need to present them a little differently.

Because they do tend to have a tendency to be wild and want to be free and exploring all the time, you’ll find that they’re always getting into everything. And we mean everything! They need stimulation and boredom sets in really quickly, so they love moving on from one thing to the next. Try to find ways for them to express their creativity like playgroups.

When it comes to toilet training, the traits of a Sagittarius baby really come into play. While they’re all about pleasing those they love, their little restless streak means they’re not too keen to sit still at any time. But they are highly intelligent, so persist and be patient and they’ll get there eventually.
