Try to keep their life simple to keep them happy. They like having habits. They will be much calmer if they know that "bath time" always comes after "play time."

Social Style of Babies Born on May 1st
These babies are a little shy at first when they meet new people. Most of the time, they will not run into someone they do not know. To make sure the person is okay, they like to watch from afar first. But once they say they like you, they will always be friends. They love being close to their family and want to give lots of hugs and kisses.

Sleep Strategies
You should pay attention to the "vibe" of the room if you want your Taurus baby to sleep well. They are so aware of everything around them that even a tag on their pajamas that itches could keep them awake! Make sure the room stays at a nice, steady temperature and use soft sheets.
Venus is their ruler planet, so they love sounds that calm them down. The Momcozy DreamSync Tech Smart Baby Sound Machine lets you set a Rainbow Light that goes with their calm state of mind. Not only that, but you can use an app to change the music without having to wake them up. As night falls, you will likely find them curled up in the same spot every time you check your Momcozy 5-Inch Dual-mode Smart Baby Monitor. They would rather things stay the same. An easy-to-remember sleep routine helps them the most.
Play and Learning
Do not give them too many high-tech toys when they want to play. Instead, give them things they can touch. A lot of people love sensory toys. In your mind, there are things that are soft, bumpy, and smooth. They like building blocks too. They love building things and seeing them come together because they are an Earth sign. If you put a Momcozy Baby Portable Playmat on the floor, they can play with their things at their own pace. They can play in a different room without having to worry about moving it. It is soft enough for their skin.
Nurturing Social Development
Because these babies are still a little shy, do not put them right away in big, loud groups. It is better to have small play dates. If you want to take them to the park or the store, a baby backpack can be very helpful. They can stay close to you and see the world, which makes them feel much braver. It is all about giving them a safe place to stay while they learn how to get along with other people.
