I’m just curious really. My 8 month old DS is quite a chilled out baby who smiles and laughs a lot. He’s also very content with his own company and loves exploring and playing with his toys. I’ve noticed friends’ babies of similar age will strain to get to other babies and interact with them, whereas DS will mostly ignore other babies and prefers playing on his own. He’s often cautious around other adults to begin with (and sometimes tearful) but relaxes after a short while.
My question is, does any of this indicate what he might be like when he’s older? Could he be a chilled out, smiley baby but a really moody and difficult toddler for example? Will he always prefer his own company to that of others? Interested to hear other people’s experiences!
