Because Libras are sensitive to everything around them, your Libran baby needs a balanced environment. She wants dimmed lighting, soft music, pleasant fragrances and fresh air. Let her listen to Mozart. (An entire book was written about the “Mozart effect” on children. Among its benefits, it promotes a child’s ability to learn mathematics.) Always provide a gentle, harmonious atmosphere for this baby. Naturally, this child will be upset by quarrels and fighting in the home.

Sleep patterns of your Libra baby will be erratic. Even Libran adults will stay up late for days, then suddenly sleep as much as possible. It goes with the territory.

As your Libra child grows, this toddler will be aware of her clothes. Libra is the sign of haute couture and all Librans pay attention to colours and fabrics. They like to look nice and will love pretty pajamas or a colourful coat.

Your Libran baby does not like to be alone, which is why she will benefit from a baby carrier so that she can always be with you. She likes to have someone else in the same room, which means your baby should spend nights in your bedroom for as long as possible. This quality of wanting company will stay with her all her life.

Lastly, Libra is a sign that rules the law, and all great lawyers have Libra in them. (A well-dressed bunch!) This child needs respect for her ideas because, one day, her ability to debate will run circles around you!
